- Sun Apr 25, 2010 5:07 pm #190010 alright well idk what the compression should be but all of them hit 145-150 but cylinder 3 hit 0. :( I put a lil oil in the cylinder an it hit 30. so im pulling off the head an checking the valves. then pull the block apart an check the pistons out an cylinder walls. I think im looking at new pistons an rings. an even a new bore.

The first two steps were dupli-color rust fix, it turn the leftover rust to a hard primer while stopping rust. then the second is also from dupli-color an its the self-etching primer. The third is the truck bed coating.
The bed coating i got at wal-mart for about 6$ Its the one in the spray-able can.
An the other cans ran about 6$ each from O'reilly auto parts.
The bed coating stuff impressed me on how it came out. :thumb:

it looks killer :thumb: :thumb:

I took a wire wheel on a drill an got as much off as i could. I vacuumed all the chunks up, then i took an wet towel an wiped it down then let it dry. Then from there i started the painting process. The bed coating dried a flat color. It looks better now since i got the trunk carpet on.
