Re: Bad engine rattle :-( The saga continues.

I finished rebuilding the engine which ran for 15 minutes before the big end seized.

Not wanting to go down the rebuild road again as it taken me about 6 months to fit it in, I bought another engine but just discovered that one is down on compression on number one 8 bar and number 2 about 10 bar. The rest are 16 bar.

I am at my wits end now over this and deliberating just chucking it in anyway until I can find another replacement at the right money.

Do you think Id just get a loss of power with those readings or would I really notice it running uneven.

The guy I bought the engine from said it was running sweet before he took it out.
