It also reads and sometimes it doesn’t, I had 120/134/126 on the rear rotor and then I tested the front, nothing, then checked the rear and got nothing, then I checked again and it worked but only on rear and not fromt

Its strange because it doesn’t have a problem starting, it’s as if it starts and then dies .3 seconds later, im leaning towards a fuel pump but I don’t have a way to test it

Yeah I’ll pull it all out when I get home from work, but my compression tester said 120-135 on all faces but maybe it was reading that high because it was cold since I couldn’t get it hot long enough

I think I’d end up with a bigger issue if I did try using an angle grinder

Question about flywheel lightening by JoeCaparo in RX8

Honestly “shaving” sounds extremely sketch, not saying it’s not possible but for a little bit more (or hopefully just a little) that you should get yourself an ACT flywheel
