Well guys, here’s the thing.
Bought a Jensen Healey that was supposed to have 14k original miles,
when it showed up (I know, don’t buy a car without seeing it in person(!)), I
thought , hmmm looks like more than 14k to me.
I decided to do a compression check before buying the many parts it
looked like it needed. . .
Compression test results
1- 170
2 - 75
3 - 40
4 - 150
From what I've read I thought this might be a head gasket issue, but I did a "wet compression test" on 2 and 3 -
2 - 120
3 - 60
Well, I have never done a compression check before, not having done much engine work either. Am I looking at learning a lot of engine work now? Maybe I should just sell it for a lot less than I paid for it? Suicide?
Thanks for any help
George
