Could you use a longer con rod to get higher compression?

[geoff390]

@codsixrules probably but finding one would be difficult and the piston goes so close to the head it would only have to be about 2-3mm longer.

Any progress since you posted this vid? I suggest performing a leakdown test.

[geoff390]

serious?  iv got videos of it going.

[giberish9]

Sorry about that. I found the vid of it running about 15 minutes after posting my comment.

haha ok

sounds like aero start/ start ya bastard isnt as good as they say...

[geoff390]

it would be too hard to make. Which gasket do you mean? head gaskets must be metal the one im getting will be 2 pieces of copper with something imbetween.

wont be hard to make an adapter. The loss in compression could be due to that gasket, im pretty sure it has to be a zinc type gasket not a paper one. Could be wrong but thats what i think it is, or the paper one is to thin.

Nice video Geoff...... From the looks of that older glow plug, it takes the same type of washer or seal like a spark plug uses..... but no worries, you have that NEW glow plug.... Can't wait to see your adapter... 5 Stars!!!!!!
