...for me at least. Read on.

My 740 turbo quit on me just as I arrived in the driveway yesterday. What a huge blessing that it didn't break down anywhere else!

Today, I got to poke around under the hood and here is what I found:
- zero compression on all cylinders
- cranking is strong but no ignition
- timing marks all right on
- timing belt in perfect shape and tight
- spark good
- fuel pressure good
- no sign of head gasket damage
- coolant is clean
- crankshaft pulley good and pistons all move, no slippage on pulley
- cam shaft turns with gear
- gas in the tank
- oil is dirty and needs to be changed

The missus has been nagging me to get rid of the brick for a pickup. Is it time?
