U folks have been great on this board. Have a 740 with 250k and still running great due to all your insights and knowledge.

So here is the 850 scoop. Think im looking at a valve job in that probably will just sell it.

Recap from prior messages.

- 2 and 4 cylinder misfire codes cel.
- car not starting think lawn motor syndrome (finally started using board Klasc info
- compression by mechanic 1 2 3 4 5
first 60 28 50 10 30

then 75 75 75 10 75

then after start 152 152 160 00 160

Took care home today.

Mechanic says 4 valve probably fried.

I intend to do the following
- change the 4th cylinder plug
- purchase a compression tester and retest compression
- perform leak down test see if it is rings.
- if no take the car out and rev the chit out of it.
- check compression again.
- if no change place an ad.

any other thoughts
