the valves must be adjusted before a compression test because the combustion chamber must be "sealed" to determine compression and the valves do that. You have had the car for 21.5 years? A compression test and "leak down" test would surely tell the story. What have you done to the engine maintenance wise. Does she use oil? I would doubt its ready for the bone yard.

I guess the price is not too bad for this work although $120.00 for $50.00 worth of parts (GPs) and 15 minutes worth of labor seem like allot.
