Looking for some advice to cheers me up!!
I have rebuilt my engine from my GSX and couldn't get it to start. Turns out the compression is 50. No I didn't miss the 1 of 150. It is 50 and it drops to 0 on both cylinders. When I stop cranking.
As I mention in a previous post I put the ski in for repair and they blew the engine, mangled the piston into the cylinder head. So I replaced both pistons and all seals on the top end. Cleaned up the head. Re-torqued as per the manual. Obviously there is a leak somewhere. So some questions.
Could the head be cracked and is there an easy way to tell this?
What could I use to check / find the leak. (thought detergent and water might show me some bubbles from somewhere)?
Would it be okay to crank with the cylinder head cover of to test for bubbles if the above is okay?
Should I have had the head milled in case it's buckled from the engine failure?
Any other suggestion to remove the depression I have would be greatly appreciated?
Thanks in advance
