Compression test results..... 700

well looks to me like at least 3 cylinders with bent valves...(from the figures) - but then again im no mechanic...i havent owned all sorts of cars like that that i have got intamate with the engiens on and the only engines i rebuilt rev to 20,000 rpm...but then again i do change cam belts, tensioners and harmonic balancers before they fail and trash the engine ...but then again thats because im no mechanic and im not familier with the internals of several types of car engine....

still i wish the guy luck (sounds like he needs it..along with probably at least 12 valves, possibly several pistons, a head gasket, a freindly machine shop, a bottom end gasket set, a set of shells for the bottom end...volvo collant etc...and probably help for mat least 2 inidividuals who posted back and most of us here acknowledge have forgotn more about these cars than we are ever likely to know...)
