Compression test values for a rebuilt TIV Options

[Dr Evil]

I have someone offering a friend a "reacently rebuilt" TIV engine and two things stick out to me that give me pause.

1) The current owner claims that the engine was reacently rebuilt, but does not know what size it is. He "thinks" is a 2.0. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

2) Claims 110psi more or less on all cylinders. Sounds low to me for new rings and honed cylinders. I am assuming that they are run in, though.


Waht are your thoughts? What values would you expect form a reacent rebuilt?

allow me to introduce myself. i am the unamed friend of dr. evil who was looking at the wierd type four with low compression or bus pistons or what the hell. i'll let it go. will rebuild my 1.7 but you guys are suffer through it with me. now let's begin. pete do you want to sell your extra 1.8 heads.

It all depends upon the price. Look at it and see if

1. 2.0 heads
2. condition of case

It could be a better candidate for rebuild than the 1.7/1.8.

I bought a 2.0 engine that rotated w tranny and exhast for $300 a couple of years ago.

Turns out that one head had a piston missing chunks and needed a complete rebuild. But I got the tranny and exhasut - which were woth more than $300.

And I am still slowly rebuilding the engine.
