# Didn't know a VG could run on 2 cylinders........

Posted by Nismo87se (91 se-r) on September 09, 2004 at 18:24:33: I was doing a T-belt replacement on my uncle's 91 max, when I tried to start the engine it refused. Eventually I got it to run and it wouldn't idle at all, so after 15 min of messing with it I decided to do a compression test. This engine has at least 190k+ (broken odo for 2-3 years stuck on 165k). I got a nice 180psi for 1 and 3, but all the others were 0psi. I have no idea what happened between when it started and when it finally killed itself. Checking the ecu I still got a code 34 lol. I don't know what he is going to do with the car now, as it needs either new valves or another engine. As for the car itself it has the typical 13 year problems. Like 2 or 3 bad window regulators, engine/tranny mounts are bad, front/rear suspension bushings are bad, broken rear sway bar mounts, faded paint. I believe his only option left is to junk the car so if he decides to do so I can pull parts off of it. Just let me know. Man I wish I had a place to store this car. I could get a VG33 with ported heads, JWT cams + bolt ons. Later on I'd install the eaton M90 SC I've been wanting to do since last year. Replys: Do you want a VG Ari?
