What have you done to your P5 today?

I'm hoping to keep the P5 forever if I can. She's been paid off for a while and as soon as I get out of college and get settled down with the job, she'll become the weekend project. monkey, what are you getting later on this year?
 
Well, bought the Escape washer stalk, then got emails saying it was removed from ebay and Paypal and seller is no more

BUT, stalk just showed up.....huh

Weird...at least you got the part. Installed yet?
 
Did a compression test and got this.

Starting from pass side to drivers.

150|160|150|160

Also found out the gap was off on the plugs. time to re gap and go from there. Im also leaking exhaust gas from every flange starting at the head and going to the mid pipe. Time for all new gaskets and hardware.

not sure what the compression is supposed to be. but it's fairly even. sucks bad about the gaskets.. but once it's fixed it'll be good!


i just need to install a mirror...:)
 
That seems pretty low. IIRC mine was about 30 PSI higher when I did it... did you do it with the engine warm / wide open throttle / all plugs taken out?

Did you try putting a cap-full of oil in to see if that helped any?
