Passenger side, front to back: 125, 110, 110, 115
Driver side, front to back: 125, 130, 110, 140
Bore scope didn't reveal any scoring or any valve to piston contact in any of the cylinders. Can these engines jump time? The low compression numbers would prove out on the performance side but should still run okay. I never saw any blow by or smoke on start up. Kind of a mystery. Now trying to decide how to proceed. I don't want to do a bunch of labor intensive disassembly to make it run and still have low compression and power when I could spend the same money and find a wrecked low mileage car and swap engines. What say the experts?
