Default For sale or trade 85 Euro Twinscrew 11k OBO

I am open to options in regards to this car. She is a beauty.

Check out the other FS thread by EDMD whom I bought the car from.

The car is at 928 Specialist's. The copmpression is down on number 7 looks like piston ring. Dr is going to send some photo's and info.

This is not a fire sale I am just keeping my options open.

the plugs are quite black....however 120psi isn't horrible.....given the high amount of carbon build up, it could be as simple as a bit of carbon not allowing the valve to seal 100%....

The condition of the #7 spark plug is more concerning......have you tried a video borescope to look at the condition of the piston itself? It sure looks like detonation too me.....but not the worst I have seen....

I agree with Brian.
I wonder if seafoam would clean it up?

I thought it was standard practice to follow a dry compression test with a wet one. DR, did you shoot oil into the cylinders for a second set of readings? That would rule in/out the rings versus valves right?
