Hi all , I'm after a bit of advice,
I've pulled the engine out of my car to do some work which requires its removal. The engine runs perfectly. Before I did this I ran a compression check which showed all cylinders evenly low, which is bad.
Now the engine is removed I performed a leak down test this shows on between 5-10 percent leakage on all cylinders, which is good/ok.
I then performed another compression check now I'm getting 125 on all 4 on the left bank and 130 on 3 and 140 on the remaining cylinder on the right bank. Should be 150 +/- 10 %
Now I'm in two minds as what to do. leave it or rebuild it. Bear in mind I have another engine stripped that I was going to rebuild and swap with the current engine. Plus is 3-4k just on bolts, gaskets and bearings if nothing needs replacing!
Im tempted to do what I originally planned and put this motor back in the car. Hmm
Thoughts
Cheers
Andy
