ed - Steve told me that were coming to get it this sunday morning with his mate with a trailor

Jambo - What steve didnt tell people when he sold it was it has low compression in cylinder 3 and only around 60psi in cylinder 2. Something isnt right, so im going to rebuild it to be on the safe side

It's worn piston rings. It's tuned. It's a dodgy old vauxhall engine and it's probably done about a million miles. It could do with a re-build
