Each cylinder should be within 10% of the others. So if one is 110 psi and the rest are at 100, life is good.

Yep I did. I wrote to them, asking if I could drop in, say hello, etc. They didn't even bother to email me back. The online reviews have been pretty bad about them. A shame.

Yes them. They are maybe 45/50 minutes away, straight across the highway I live close to. I wanted to go see their shop. It was during the time they were on TV. I recognized the roads and signs as they drove the test cars and figured out who and where they were.

disappointing - met them a few times at shows in town even talked to Steve at a high school football game for a while - seemed genuine - not as sure about Tommy - but the others were easy to talk to in person

They probably get 10000 people every day talking to them. Out of that, maybe a couple might get something so it's one thing to talk to you but they still have to pay the bills.

If you want your engine done Boardman Engine is the go to in Youngstown area. They don't pull the engine you have to get it to them. Honest and excellent work on mine.

thanks - the pulling out of the motor would be the the big issue for me (lack of experience and equipment)- if it comes to that - I have heard great things about them - thanks!
