everybodies guessin' Have a '86 volvo that started missing at 200K so took it to a shop and the engine is bad. Asked him how he knew that. Well the compression is this on #1 this on #2 this on #3 and this on #4; nmbers 3 & 4 were low OK how do you know it's not valves he had shot oil in the cylinders and the compression didn't change. Then he offered the options: 1) He would put in a new engine for $4K 2) Donate it for $1.5K to 2K 3) Sell to him for a parts car, maybe 500.
