yeah sometimes they get to pumped up and hold the valves open. I know it's not good to soak them. I use to always do this but not good. must lifters go in dry.

I used a boroscope, no holes in the Pistons.

Still need to pull the valve covers off

wallra

were you able to get the leak down setup? this will point you to where the problem is.

I had to work the entire weekend.

I used the boroscope to verify no holes.

After talking with a Porsche expert, he recommended take off the valve covers and look at the lifters rocker arms. You might have roken pieces.

I will do that leak down test Friday after my design review.

Good Luck!!! I hope it turns out to be something simple and not too expensive!!!!!!!

Update

​​​​​​I pulled the valve cover off and found the culprit, a non functional lifter.

I ordered new parts and the car should pull 11 in of hg at idle soon.

I plan to drive the car in stock form for about 1 month.

I will tackle the super charger again soon.

As for the split second box, I plan to use it as a clay pigeon.

that's great. I hope now this thing run's nice.

It's been a long road, but the car is repaired and pulling a constant 12 in of hg at idle.

With that said, I am really to tired to put the supercharger back on today, so I will leave for another day.

nice when every thing works out. now you know the charger will work. good luck!

I pulled a hose off the fuel pressure regulator on the intake manifold. You can pretty much take your pick for a vacuum reading.

Make sure the hose to the guage has a good seal.

The supercharger is installed and it's pulling a solid 15 lb of hg.

Need to do some final checkouts, and I will take it for a drive tonight.

I will continue the updates in my TPC install tread
