I think they came with the drop links but can not be sure. I brought the whole lot about 6 years ago and only fitted them about 2 years ago.

Large gaps in time, too much beer and of coarse, age, play there part in memory loss. :lol:

2012 - Compression Test

Post by Kawa » Mon Aug 27, 2012 1:28 pm

She's a little smoky, so Si helped us with a compression test.

All cylinders were pretty consistant, 250 to 260 psi, which is I now understand is high. After completion we noticed the compression tester does not return to 0, but starts at 40!! :lol:

Needless to say, a new compression tester on order and will keep a look out for a top end gasket set as Si think's she's smoking from worn valve stem oil seals.

I think a winter top end rebuild is on the cards.
