Hi All,
I've had my car in for a major service this week and I asked the garage to do a compression test and a leakdown test so that I could have a better understanding where the 63K mile engine is on the "Oh its a 964? Rebuilt the engine yet? Throw it away then!" curve.
So, i'll post results when i get them but until then, for a bit of fun, where would the numbers have to fall to make you:
A). leap for joy as you have a great engine
B). thank your lucky stars for years of rebuild-free motoring
C). start saving for a rebuild in the next 10-20k miles
D). start crying at the thought of rebuilding next year
E). start praying for a lottery win this year
F). start drafting the for sale ad tonight
Specifically i am looking for PSI numbers for the compression tests and leakdown % for each cylinder.
i.e.
A). leap for joy as you have a great engine - 220PSI & 5% loss
B). thank your lucky stars for years of rebuild-free motoring - 200PSI & 10% loss
C). start saving for a rebuild in the next 10-20k miles - 180PSI & 15% loss
D). start crying at the thought of rebuilding next year - 140PSI & 25% loss
E). start praying for a lottery win this year - 120PSI & 35% loss
F). start drafting the for sale ad tonight - 100PSI & 45% loss
