Re: [MBZ] 603 compression test
Here ya' go, use at your own risk. Nice to keep this idea in your back pocket for an emergency, not a standard practice that I would follow. http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/2832102-post6.html - Max Charleston SC On Sun, Dec 4, 2016 at 5:13 PM, Max Dillon wrote: > On peach parts, a guy posted a method for re-setting a heat shield for > re-use.

Re: [MBZ] 603 compression test
No seal/heat shield is going to give you lousy compression. So will putting the pre-chamber from a #14 head into a #17 or #22 -- they don't seal tight at the seal rim at the top. 370 is fine, 270 and it won't start.

[MBZ] 603 compression test
Ok so I am back on the SDL today installing Bozio nozzles and checking compression, this being the car we discussed last week. I have the injector body for the first one soaking in parts cleaner while checking 1st 2 holes. Engine is stone cold. Both #1 and 2 came up 270 dry, and #1 came up 370 wet. I was getting ready to check #2 wet when I discovered there were no heat shields installed on 1 2 and 6. Wow well ok then that could be a problem. I stopped there to post this. I was not going to install the rebuilt injectors yet anyway as I forgot to order new head shields and my rule of thumb is to replace them. I guess at least for testing purposes I will move the heat shields I do have in the engine around. I am sure I have some used ones around here but I do believe you are supposed to replace them when the injectors are removed.
