Supercharged 82 oil explosion, lost compression.

Well you need to determine the cause of the oil leak, knowing from where it leaked can give you an idea on what is causing it. It is confusing that all cylinder compression are all low at once without seeing much damage visually. My thought is broken rings which caused excessive blowby, low compession and no start, but I could be waaay off. but blowing rings in all cylinders, or a headgasket on all cylinders is hard to believe. Have others look at it and give their thoughts, would suck to take everything appart and do more work than needed.

It was more of a oil blowout.... didn't leak before that. But I was burning a little oil and coolant was disappearing.... so head gasket might not have been great, but the oil didn't come out of there.... valve cover seal/pcv valve and valve cover vent appear to br where the oil blew from...
a really good point though, maybe I should test my compression tester on my bike.... she should have really good compression... just to make sure the tester works.

head bolts are measuring right under 6 1/2" from the collar appear to be 1/32 - 1/64 depending on the bolt(with a tape), My micro meter is at work, how much stretching should I be looking for? Are they made at that tight of a tolerance?

Well, update on my mess... compression tester seems to work... my parts 4runner has 200~psi in three cylinders and 0.... lol, it doesnt run well....
So The head went to a machine shop... it tested good...
Conclusion so far is that I blew the rings of my pistons or something from running to learn... would be nice if LCE had some info about their "bolt on" supercharger.... waste of money...
Well and ways, besides my 85 parts 4runner, Ive got a 87 22re motor... no wiring harness..... (the parts 4runner wiring is hacked to pieces.... )
Everything I've read is that 87 motor I cant just carburete with my parts from an 82.... haven't found a wiring harness option I wanna get into....
So currently thinking a 350, and I'll probably just build the 4runner with the Dirty little Whore (my truck) parts, she might be done...

thx. I'll keep that in mind... I don't see how the wiring harness would be different.... if I use all my electronics That are in my truck and the motor from the 87, I'm pretty sure I just need a carb intake manifold for a 85+ And maybe exhaust... would seem the easiest.

Thx for the offer though.... hell, that wiring harness may come in handy in the future.... eh...

Have you tried every bolt and stud for the 82 intake to 87 head? Pic looks like you just have it "hanging there" with a few studs. You can also see the rear port is short a stud mount were the 87 head has a hole and the intake doesn't, this would likely lead to a nice intake leak. I've never tried this but through other projects I can tell you when everyone says it doesn't work, they're probably right. You gotta remember guys have been doing this stuff for 30 years or more. If it could be done then everything you read would say just that.

This thread is starting to go everywhere, but here's my. 82 22r ( moved one stub up front when I put the supercharger on) and my 87 22r... will it drop in? . Ima find out.
The green arrow shows the only difference I see, there's no threaded hole which is not used for carb intake... so, maybe this is a one way swap?

82 supercharger motor coming out....Its gotta get rebuilt to hold the super charger....
87 motor.... so the exhaust manifold might get tricky... can I just bolt up my other manifold to block off the top of the pears??
Trying to think if there is anything I just do in here before the other motor goes in...
Alright, here she is... ugly one... other then pull off all the accessories, any recommendations, dont wanna pull the motor apart...
