Looking for advice from you knowledgeable chaps! I recently posted a thread regarding an engine bought on eBay. Its from a series 2
I did a compression test on the engine out of the car. The numbers were low. I then placed a camera down each sparkplug hole. #4 cylinder which had a very low number seemed to show corrosion and there was a good amount of carbon on the underside of the head. The other cylinders look good still showing the Hatch marks on the walls. I was hoping to not do a rebuild! The engine has been sitting on a pallet for 3 years. should I run it up to temp and try another compression test?? Looking for some advice! Thanks John
