My MSP is still sitting with the valve and timing covers off and has been since Thrursday, I need to go finish it but life keeps getting in the way.
But I did order some ARP studs for my exhaust mani to fix the leak, (thanks to outlawstar98 for the link)

 

[Outlawstar98]

You will be happy with the ARP Studs (hopefully you got the 38mm, no need for the washers, atleast for me) I think the ARP studs both help mechanically and Visually. They looks awesome in the bay.

so anyone feel like helping a brother out ordering from mcmaster? apparently they wont ship to canada anymore so i have to go through proxy ordering. need to make a set of front endlinks. balljoints are $5 from mcmaster, or $38 from local source....

 

[o0n8]

there is a link about ford escape links working and are less than half the price and beefier.

I need to do APR studs if I ever change my manifold. How do you all remove the studs? with just two nuts? I have a stud remover and a stud installer but it messes up the threads right where it grabs. It really wouldnt matter on the Exhaust mani since the flange is thicker than the threads it would mess up but it goes on a air gun and just spins a stud off and spins the stud right back on. But If im going to drop the money on APR studs I dont think I want to do them that way....

 

[justanothermp5]

two nuts normally works, thats what i've used when removing studs from the turbo and putting new studs in

 

[J_Naoto]

^yep. and to install the arps, you can use an allen wrench

 

[Valk]

did my front brakes today. though.. after emerying the hub of all rust, the driver side is still a little lopey. when you drive it, it stops smooth and stuff. the lopey stops are gone, but the driver side steams an awful lot after driving a bit.

well just completed the compression tests.. from left to right #1(170), #2(0), #3(120),#4(160).... nothing coming out of #2.

 

[will6946]

Damn man that sucks! You have zero compression on #2 and didnt throw a rod?

 

[mildsalsa]

there is a knocking sound every once in awhile. no highway accelerating for me.

 

[Ricktalife]

Damn dude, sounds like it is build time.

 

[mildsalsa]

any1 selling a beater bseries truck lol

why would u throw a rod with no compression?

 

[StealthWyvern]

why would u throw a rod with no compression?

only logical explanation that I can think of... or the piston isn't moving, disconnected rod... you generally hear of low compression but literally none? If the piston is going up and down im sure it will build something even if its 5psi. I've read of several reports where they were all are good butone be around 30psi but never no pressure what so ever?

Edit: Even bad valves will give some sort of pressure. I don't clam to know all or even how to build a engine but know what I have read. Either way something is seriously our of wack to be zero pressure what so ever.
