Compression problems
Didn't check much to be honest I just managed to get a pair of heads from a rally shop who assured me they were in perfect condition etc... New belt kit new gaskets just got the thickness sizes from goole lol.... Im not a mechanic so I was surprised I got it back running all by myself to be honest....

Compression problems
Hi guys... My 2002 wrx has just started to run rough more on tick over once driving seems ok.... I've had a compression test done and cylinder 1 is really low compared to the rest and the car is smoking much more... Is this a valve or piston problem and how I go about checking and fixing.. Ian

What's easiest way to check turbo oil sills? If I take the intercooler off and find oil is that the turbo then?

Smoking problems
Hi guy... Recently my 2002 wrx has started to smoke not too much when idling but if I give it abit of a boost I down the road it seems to smoke much more... Is there a quick easy way of finding out if it's the turbo or not?? Is there any thing I can buy to help the smoking issue also is there a better grad oil to help this... Cheers guys
