Well I finally
+ received my compression tester and the numbers were terrible, between 70 and 90. All the air was coming out of the intake manifold. Perhaps exhaust as well. Crankcase was quiet. This was a lot of trouble for little yield. My guess is bent valves c/o the previous owner's screw up. So now it's up to me whether to pull the head and take a look see or retire it to the back of the lot as a parts car. A used motor is a possibility of course but the brake system is totally shot from MC to all 4 calipers. At some point it makes sense to call it quits. But no rust and no dents and only 100K miles makes it worthwhile...........except for the durn transmission is an automagic. If it were a manual.......maybe.
