Re: Compression Question????
Fred - 1st thing I would do is buy a compression tester yourself and double check the mechanics claims on the bottom two. If they test low . . . pull the heads.
if the scoring isn't bad, you can do a 2 hole fix on that motor w/o a total rebuild. It'll take about 1 day and you'll need 2 new head gaskets, 2 new pistons and rings, bearings (may be able to reuse), intake gasket, a ball hone that will fit that motor, lots of oil, wd-40, locktite, gel seal, and carb rebuild kits. It's a bit of a hack fix, but it'll work if you keep everything clean clean clean. The alternative is to sell it. Parts will probably run $300 - $400, so you have to make the call and decide if you feel mechanically inclined.
