Compression is now 47.
Back left head bolt is threaded. No wonder it came out real easy and there was oil on top of the gearbox. Previous owner was a bit shifty.
However cylinder 4 was showing 185 then cold with a bit of oil.
There goes about 18 hours. Learnt alot.. Overall quite enjoyable.
Question is do I attempt it again next weekend?

Yeah will grab a new vvt motor this week. Have a choice of two. Both are 130k km.... 80k miles?
One is definitely a 2001. Other i'm not so sure. Should get comp numbers back today for both.
At least it will be nice to do a reroute and turbo install on a stand.

Yeah MS3.
VVT @ 128k km is hanging in the garage. Bonus is the flat top.
Extra parts are alternator / AC / Injectors i can flog to make up some of the difference.
Pulled from a porsche wrecker who claimed 193/194 compression across all 4.
Only issue was the starter was sold before i paid deposit.
Ill test compression before i do anything.
Otherwise there's a slight oil leak from vvt tube / oil pressure sensor area above where the starter was removed.
