35 psi compression on number 5 and 6. 115 psi on the rest. Looks like a valve or ring issue although I think even the "good" cylinders are low. Turbos were puking oil also. It actually ran decent with a rough idle. It has 140k may be tuned, has cold air, aftermarket pipes with no cats and has been lowered. So I assume it's been beat on. I'm gonna pull the head off and see maybe if it's a simple valve issue. Probably replace the engine with a 50k engine I picked up. Not sure if I should be afraid of the trans at 140k though. It shifted ok and fluid looks good.SHOdded said:Welcome to our little corner of the universeWhat happened to the engine in the 2011 SHO? Not too many obstacles to getting the Gen 5 engine in your Gen 4, thankfully.

If the engine problems have been there the entire time you have owned the car, it is hard to draw a conclusion on transmission behavior. But having the engine/trans out of the car is a good time to replace the sensors under the main control cover, check solenoid body and valve body also. If fluid looks good, along with a fluid exchange, that should have the trans ready for another 140K.
