These are for a 32MM bar, OEM will not work with the bushings and bar I have installed.
Okay well that makes sense then ...they definitely looked like they are not as heavy duty as the OEM ones...
I took it on it's final drive...My MS3 motor has finally bit the dust.
ROD knock... 283,010 miles.
Such a shame, I was really hoping to get it and the original clutch over 300k. The rest of the car is still in excellent condition.
Yes it is for sale, let me know if you want to check it out.That was you selling the MS3. It kept popping up as I searched for a car to replace my P5.

Finally did a compression test on the MS3- only because I was doing one on the Miata and thought I should go ahead and get it over with so I actually know rather than assume. The numbers weren't terribly awful, better than I was expecting, honestly.
Cylinder 1- 155/165
Cylinder 2- 150/175
Cylinder 3- 150/162
Cylinder 4- 150/178
I expected to see at least one, if not two, below minimum spec. This puts me at about ~19% down on each cylinder from healthy spec.
I'm almost done with the Miata and if I can get it running and driving dependably, I'll use it as a daily so that a rebuild can be done on the MS3.
If it is not too late, try a leak-down test. Compression tests are subject to all sorts of variation: was the throttle open? Is the starter good? What was the battery SOC? Were the other spark plugs out? Is the o-ring on the gage good? And at the end of the day you still have no idea where the engine is leaking from. I hate it.
A leak-down test is subject to fewer variables and will identify where any leakage is coming from.
