i wanna see the new bay

Funny you said that, I just got home(3:10am) from a normal Friday hangout, and guess where Im at...here posting pics...

Well guys, Ive been working on this ALL WEEK, a bit at a time. I had the passenger side done and cleared, but then saw alot of imperfections, so I resanded everything, started over. Its not an easy task, but it looks great in the end...and for $15 worth of Spray cans, trust me...it looks amazing, and clean.

Nice i like how the bay came out.... just know that usually spray can clear browns up when heat from the motor bakes it.... what clear did you use?

Thanks guys....

Well, it was a great Saturday since I completed 90% of my engine, and got some new wheels and tires on....

Well, enough of the bad news...here some pics of today:

..until I went to a friends house, and did a compression test. Here is where I got frustrated, and depressed:

Cylinder 1: 150
Cylinder 2: 80-90
Cylinder 3: 140
Cylinder 4: 140

Those numbers overall look low. My f22a1 put out 185, 180, 185, 185 when I last compression tested. Your compression should be in the 200's i believe. I'd double-check your that your timing belt is aligned properly, camshaft position, etc is up to spec.

Definitely something to think about...eh, we'll see. Im already looking at replacing the Rings, ACL Racing Main/Rod Bearings, Head gasket etc...
