compression/headgasket question

mastergrader007 · 08-12-2008, 11:58 AM

i did a compression test on my 7mgte last night. the car isnt on the road yet but i wanted to make sure the engine was strong before i spent the $$$$. anyway its a JDM 7mgte, and the compression was between 145-152 psi on all the cylinders, so does this mean my hg is still strong??? just wondering. thanks guys/girls. OH and is there a trick to getting the last turbo bolt off, the one underneath that bolts it to the manifold?????

That sounds correct. But if your gonna be doing work on the car, you should get a manual. It has a lot of info in there!
