    savage octane compression test

    I installed the new o.s ring into the sleeve and now the end gap is .005" which is right in spec, re tested the compression and now I have 90 psi... with a drop of oil its over 100 psi before broken in

    wow, mine runs with or without the restrictor in place, but did not notice any power difference, so put it back in. only difference was had to adjust the mixture needles to get to run without the restrictor. still great to hear you got yours running!

    savage octane compression test

    No that definitely is not the reason. Mine still ran and idled fine just lacking power, which makes it difficult to hit the shift points. I bought this truck used and I think it wasn't broken in properly. Is your truck still not running?

    savage octane compression test

    my piston and sleeve and ring end gap inside the sleeve measurements: piston 27.58mm and the sleeve 27.71mm and the ring end gap .032" which is too much according to those specs, will compare once I have the new ring.

    the piston and sleeve look just fine, so I ordered a new ring for the piston, I will post my results once back together and have re tested the compression.

    savage octane compression test

    ok, that sounds normal to me, would sure like another owner, of the same model truck that performs well, to post their compression test results so I had another vehicle to verify against. thanx for the reply.

    savage octane compression test

    what should the compression be of my savage octane v1? I performed the compression test cold and achieved 75 psi dry and with a few drops of oil it achieved 85 psi, should it not be at least 110 psi to 150 psi?
