well so i ended up buying the 960 i recently posted about, yup 1600 for a '94 with 117,000 miles on the odmoeter.
now the whole reason the little old guy was selling it was.....(drumroll) one cylinder has low compression which yes when its warm and sitting in traffic it idles a bit rough but it's still running strong other then that.
oh and the passenger seat dosent want to move forward but oh well.

now ive done the following stuff just to make sure nothing bursts into flames right away.
1. injector cleaner.
2. check plugs, all good and clean bosch platinums
3. some oil treatment (lord knows how many engines have been kept together by the suff)
4. timing belt checked and is good.

anything maintence wise that works pretty good?
now i was told the reason for the low comp in the cylinder was becuase of a bad valve.....what kind of monster is a valve job on a v-6?

danke schon
