Just put a set of reman BB's in my 94 IDI T. I have what seems to be VERY low compression on one of my cylinders. If I start her below 20F, it actually misses for the first 5 seconds or so, then starts to get ignition after some revs. The problem isn't very obvious while driving, and there is VERY noticeable difference in power now, but when she idles... MAN. My headrests visibly vibrate to my 700rpm.
Anyway... My guess was that despite my best efforts, there was some crud that fell into the bore while removing the old injectors, and now one of my new one's is poorly seated and letting pressure get by on top. I was just asking on here before I go tear her apart all over again... Does this sound likely? If so, how in the heck would one clean out those bores? I was thinking I could "pipe cleaner" them out with some fuel, or additive with detergent, and then leave the bores open and crank my starter to blow them out...... But my IP would be off, so I don't want to mess up my timing at all. I know I could make a timing mark on the pump gear, but honestly, if there's a better way to go about cleaning out those bores that you guys know of, I'm very interested in hearing it.
That's if you even agree with me about what the issue is. If not, I'd love to know what anybody thinks is happening. Thanks!
(side question: any one know the OEM # for the brake line that goes from master to the proportioning valve? or even just the fitting types on the ends?)
