#8 options

It's a HORRIBLE feeling... but like I said, I'm gonna install it anyways and see how it goes. I should find out pretty quick if it's weak

You could always throw a battery charger on the car and do another compression check and see if you get different results, did you perform it on number 8 last? or first?


Seen 3-4 Lund number 8 failures in the last month or two. Have no idea what he is doing.

Might be the fact that he's swamped with tunes.

I taped an ice pack to #8. Omg #8. What am i going to do.

Would running a cooler thermostat do anything about the heat that causes the failure?

I guess with quantity, quality can suffer.

How do you know it was the tune? It could have been the owner. Could have put 87 in it, used a shitty gas station with the wrong oct in the tank. Over reved the motor, ran low on oil. Other stuff does happen to get #8 super hot. Omg #8

Yes... I used 87, never checked my oil... Lol

I never claimed it was the tune....

I honestly dont even really care. It's a lot of $$$ but in the end I was gonna do a built motor anyways, I just have to do it soon than expected

I don't even know if its that bad yet. It's within the 15% so I'm good with that for now. It's a modded car, some last, some dont. whatever

Easy there buddy. You always seem bent out of shape whenever a thread like this comes up.

No one blamed lund for anything. Just seems like a couple more with his tune's might have had some bad luck.

I think everyone goes crazy on these threads and don't look at the facts. The fact of the matter is that it sounds that his motor is ok. 149 psi on a cylinder doesn't mean its bad. 15% difference between cylinders is normal. If there is no loss in power, no noise, smoking, etc. More than likely his motor is ok. Put the blower on and let her rip.

15% difference is not normal at all

Ford has a compression pressure limit chart they use, as long as the lowest reading cylinder is at least 75% of the highest reading cylinder it is within specs.
