Ive left the plugs out lastnight so it should be good today, but i probably wont be back down there tonight anyways. I will do another compression test tomorrow when i go down. I should have a more accurate reading this time with all the fuel evaporated now. I decided that i will probably end up doing a complete rebuild anyways, just for peace of mind. I will get new mains and big end con rod bearings and at least a set of rings, but probably pistons as well. I will see how they look when i get them out. Im thinking of getting the car repainted once im all done the engine depending on cash flow lol, but we will see when the time comes. I would really like to get it painted black, even though it is a pretty neat charcoal kinda color now but the paint has quite a few little nicks and scratches throughout it.
well the cool thing about 7ms is they have no clear coat so you can wet sand em away sweet eh

some of the clours did come clear coated thou i forget wiht at one i knwo the white ones don't nore does black and gay as well same wiht blue but i don't knw9o about tan


as for piston i highly dought you will have to replace em

in less you ring broek and stuff

ps when doing comp test do it dry and jump the termials but you have no power so just take the fuel pumps fuse out the do ti
