Thanks, appreciated!
Yes, I know idle airflow far exceeds cranking air flow thus leaving very little if any air flow restriction during a compression test. But: Now I don't have to argue with those that remain firm in their belief that compression test == WOT
BTW: My initial naive idea of a budget DIY turbo conversion is definately and thoroughly proven wrong - or debunked
Giving the splines their first molbyden change while waiting for pistons and cams to arrive. Nothing alarming, much dry lubricant still there. Splines were prestine.
I went out of my way to avoid pulling the studs and taped together a mix of a flex joint, extender and an impact gun.
Not pretty, but sure loosened nuts only.
I have cleaned of course. Waiting for the solvent to evaporate before applying the molbyden paste. I guess the picture lies as the splines are OK. Which should be no surprise considering only 38.000 km very gentle mileage.
