    Compression tester needed

    true i dont want to hear that however i wanna know whats wrong and not just drive around blindly.. if it was a short rod wouldn't it show off balance rates and run funny all the time? not just when hot?

    actually if you read into it it spools pretty fast. this isn't just for bling...this is a record setter... no doubt about it thats what its all about. it went 8's on a shakedown pass only running 30ish psi... this thing can be well into the 7's if not quicker

    Compression tester needed

    so talked to a friend and he gave me some ideas i hadn't thought of, #1 my passenger side valve train has always been a bit noise... perhaps thats to blame for the down compression in 2 cylinder? #2 leak down test...anyone ever done one on a duramax before?

    Compression tester needed

    yes numbers 1 and 5.... i don't think its a bent rod because those cylinders have had iffy balance rates for a few months now and i always chalked it up to injectors being out of spec.. ive been beating the piss out if it since then and it hasn't gotten any worse i would think if i had a bent...

    Ok then yes there's no fuel. I figured some would of shot out and made a mess if they were on. Going to check the cylinders for coolant now

    Oh ok now I see. Well I unhooked both of the bale connectors. Would that disable injection?

    What test though? The truck would run smooth at idle but the balance rates in number 5 would be in the 10 range and number one was usually in the 5-6 range and the rest fairly normal. Soon as you gave it a smidgen of throttle just enough to set the balance rates to 0 but not pick up any rpm...
