As some of yall know, my car has compression loss in the #1 cylinder. I was told to pull the heads and look for certain indicators to bad valves or blown rings. Im still kinda fuzzy as to what exactly im looking for though. I would appreciate anyone telling me what signs of things that can go wrong I should be looking for. Also im deciding between rebuild, re-manned and used engines. Any pros and cons i should be looking for when doing my research and general comments are welcome also.
Just so you know. These are the prices ive found on the internet.
rebuilt engine.........................................$16 00 (estimate)
remanned engine...................................$1750 (estimate)
used engine...........................................$ 350 (w/ about 90k miles)
rebuild kit (basic)....................................$350+
rebuild kit (w/ pistons,valves etc.)..........$500+
Thanx-
