engine restore will not be able to save that low of a compression if its a ring problem... its still gotta have running compression to really be effective.... theres not going to be enough heat to fuse the compound the grooves in the cylinder wall.... if you want to pinpoint your problem... bring your bad cylinder to TDC and hook up compressed air to the spark plug hole, then check intake for air noise(bad intake valve) exhaust pipe for air noise(bad exhaust valve) radiator for bubbles(blown head gasket, or cylinder wall is broken into water jacket) and check crank case for air noise(bad rings or cylinder wall scoring or hole in piston)just because your car is faster, doesn't mean i cant outdrive you... give me a curvy mountain road and i'll beat you any day
Visited a family member at Dockery Ford from the time I was 1 year old through their ownership and then ownership change to Morristown Ford. Dockery was a major player in the Hi Performance...
