That does suck but it's not the worst thing ever. i guess the Leak down will tell you more.

I leak down tested all the easy cylinders (1,3,5,7, 6) to about 80psi with less than 5-7% drop, cold cold engine tho some heat would prob show better.

Going to have to pull the passenger front tire to get to everything else. I put in a ghetto catch can onto the overflow port - wanted to see if it actually spit a lot andddd it does quite a bit...drove it for around for an hour or two with plenty of pulls and filled a 1/4 of a water bottle up or so.

New front painted bumper and fog lights, waiting on retrofits but decided to throw the rest on. Color matches pretty good considering, there are some runs in it mostly on the underside like inside the fog light cutouts and stuff like that. one blotchy spot a little bigger than a quarter.
iirc it cost about as much as having someone throw a cheap respray on the hood, it prob would have been about the same price but I didn't have to drop it off somewhere for a week and wait on it...its no beauty queen and is a whole lot better than what was on there
I'll take some better pics when I can get home before the sun goes down

This thing is pretty retarded fast also, maybe cause I'm not "used to it" yet but I no longer have to mat it and run it out for it to give me that little scare. I find myself letting out of it much sooner lol

this little blast from 80-130 takes a little over 5 seconds ... let me find an old log to compare
