To say I'm f**ked off would be an understatement, just weighing up my options now, didnt wanna be rebuilding an engine now as I wanna build a 500+ engine in the next couple of years.... head ache can't afford that now let alone even a standard rebuild

With my luck with this car I'm gonna have to expect the worse I guess, head re-con, new piston maybe, or 4 new ones if it needs a rebore, crank grind... better start looking for things to sell lol... oh well, keep smiling I guess

Do a leak down test a compression test is a waste of time. It may be as simple as a leaky valve.
