2032cc 16v motor is here! (with wierd compression)



Scott,

How many miles are on the engine since the last rebuild? That's probably
going to give you the answer to your question about replacing anything.

Another question too. When those compression readings were taken, did the
thing have some super radical cam in it? I've heard that with the overlap
created with some radical cams compression readings can come out a bit
screwy. Just a thought.

I'd say if you know a bit of the history on the engine, and that history
says it was running well before, just put it in and run it.
