Sodaking27 1,002 #1 Posted July 30, 2024 Fired up the C175 today for the first time. Started right up. It’s not sounding that good though. Waiting to borrow a compression tester to check the cylinders. Not sure what all the noise is about. Can’t tell if it’s a major exhaust leak or something knocking in the engine . On a plus note the hydro works great. IMG_1284.mov IMG_1285.mov IMG_1285.mov IMG_1285.mov IMG_1285.mov 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 23,120 #2 Posted July 30, 2024 My little phone doesn’t do sound well, so I can’t even guess what’s up with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah my videos didn’t capture the sound all that well either. Actually it doesn’t sound so bad in the videos. I pulled the exhaust shields off. Have the front two manifold bolts soaking. Going to put new gaskets in and see what that does. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c-series don 9,966 #4 Posted July 31, 2024 I do hear something funky in the second video, but I can’t tell what. Were you able to do a compression test? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will most likely be the weekend before I have the tester. Not seeing any blue smoke or smelling any burnt oil. This is a series 1 so fingers crossed. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sodaking27 1,002 #6 Posted August 3, 2024 (edited) Compression test completed. Both cylinders had 110 lbs. Removed the exhaust manifold and discovered the rear gasket was blown. Front gasket completely gone. Off to get new gaskets. Edited August 3, 2024 by Sodaking27 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
