Here's what I know from talking to this guy. He's owned MB Diesels for 25 years. He bought a mint sd with 100k, and is now selling this. He said transmission was 2k to replace. Car needs nothing but paint. He was going to keep it, but found his sd and snatched it. Compression he says is between 300 and 310 psi on 4 cylinders, with one cylinder at 290.

My question is what life should be left on this engine if I take these compression numbers as valid, or is strictly compression not enough to go on? I forgot to ask about oil consumption.
