Selling my Saturn, just curious to see how it's doing. Also interested in checking out the 12v and v-twin, but those aren't time-sensitive. looking to do it this week, hopefully Thursday or Friday afternoon/evening. It'd be great if you could come to me as the Saturn's registration is out of date, but no biggie if I have to drive it. Can compensate in $, beer, trade of services, or any combination thereof.

PM me

thanks
dave

Honestly, if I was selling it I wouldn't want to know.

But I've got a gauge down the street from you if you want to use it. I'm around most evenings after 6.

I have a guage as well...I am right off Tryon.

tripD pointed out the cheapness of the tools involved...i'll probably just buy them and have them

looks like i can get away with compression testing all three vehicles for <30 bucks and own all the tools afterward


but should I decide otherwise I will hit y'all up in short order

and in any case thanks for the offers


i really want to know for the Saturn more as a selling point...if i'm getting a good seal all the way across that'll go a long way toward getting my asking price out of it

and if not I can give the potential buyer a heads up.. I'm not in the business of intentionally screwing people

my old man had one until a round track engine we built popped it

Dave...I can do a compression test on everything but the diesel. You gotta have a special adapter to do it and a gauge capable of reading that high. Not cheap, and not available over the counter at most parts stores. Lemme know what you wanna do, and I'll hook a brotha up cheap. I need the moneys, lol.

ended up buying a gauge at advance and doin it myself

190 - 180 - 185 - 210


a dash of oil took all cylinders up to ~210

manual spec. is 180+, so i'd say the motor's running strong for a high-mileage $900 car
