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?
