The compression ratio is too low on it. Recall that we were concerned about the compression on the ARRC engine in impound? That's because the build numbers he used on the new engine were actually too low; when we got the numbers in impound we thought the race engine was too high but it was the other way around. So, the new engine needs to have the head pulled and re-done.What happened to the ARRC engine we brought down to Atlanta but never installed?[/b]
Secondarily, that new engine has all new head parts (casting, valves, seats, guides, cams). We'd prefer to keep those parts aside for when the good used inventory is all gone.
Third, the ARRC engine is already apart and could use better sealing; we were getting low-90s on leakdown checks. So, may as well rebuild it while it's apart (and get a few more ponies out of it in the process...) - GA
