Re: Didn't bleed lifters - 90 cold compression new engine

Shop didn't have there leak down test numbers but said it was way over 30. I ran it today for about 15 minutes reving it around 4000 rpms and checked compression again. 100 100 90 120. It stopped smoking so much after running a while, but I had to crank for ever, pump the peddle, and keep jumper cables on it. Car actually idles now when warm.

I would take out and run it hard for a little bit to try to get the rings to seat, but its leaking oil like crazy. I'm hoping a crack in the oil pan since I just did the rear main. I'm not sure if it's worth fixing it - if indeed the engine really had 7 miles on it they should be seated by now?? When I was reving it actually got hot - fan wasn't turning on, but I figured that might help them seat too.
