I've never had the compression tested. I'm afraid that the results may be horrid!

It idles very nicely, acceleration is good, for a 240...but, like I said, it does have blow-by. Maybe it is a s***** car that no one would want and I got tricked into buying...


Also, I do not have an engine hanger, and I do not have the know-how to yank an engine out of a car....my friend Christopher has an engine hanger, though, he isn't using it, either.
