No compression on three cylinders. Think it started at the Cadwell trackday we did tbh as oil got really low. Anyway hes now in two minds, fix or break/scrap or sell as is.

So what are the likely costs involved in fixing? Selling as is is the one were trying to avoid as its got a newish turbo on with a 360 degree thrust bearing, just had belts, brakes etc. Ive told him to break it, keep the good bits, sell the other bits and scrap the shell but he doesn't have a clue so that would be left to me but I don't know whether I can be arsed

Whats it likely to be worth as is? Hes wanted an LE for ages so its either scrap keeping the good bits then buy the LE or fix it up?

Hi Seb.
There's an engine on here:

20vt engine

If the rest of the car is good it would be a shame to break it.

No comp on three is either seriously bad or jumped timing what's compression on the other 2?

Car was running solid before I went off for knee surgery. Came to drive it two weeks late and it was a dog to drive.
