First time rebuild project!
I just bought a 1991 S5 NA. I have had 7s in the past but never had any issues with them in the time that I owned them. I bought this one for 500 bucks knowing that it wasnt running.

He didnt know what was wrong with it, other than the exhuast overheat light came on so he had a new system put on it. Then it just stopped running. (so he says). This will be my first build and I think im on the right track, maybe. I want to do it with a low budget and all i really want is a daily driver with some power behind it. The first thing i checked was the compression. The front rotor didnt even move the gage and the rear had one strong bump of about 80-90 psi. The car will hardly run, if i can even get it to fire. The lower plug smelled like gas and had oil on it. Soooo, is it safe to say that i need to start pulling the motor for a rebuild? Thanks ahead of time for any input.
