" .. around 250,000 kilometers on the odo.."

Let's see..250KM would be about 150,000 miles or so?

".. Uhh, i dunno about the 'cat converter, I dont even know if we have those in canada.."

I think you're right about that.

"Compression values... I dont know them off the top of my head, I'll get that checked, but, I think one of the cylinders is a bit weak, or, so my

mechanic friend said. (the engine runs a little rough, if that helps... it shakes quite a bit... complains sometimes.)"

Not good. Could be rings, or the headgasket (or something else).

" Thanks! "

No problem, but hopefully some of the more knowledgeable folks will chime in too. I'm just a shadetree weekend mechanic with dirty finger nails. ;-)
