Hey Chris;
30psi on the Comression is not good either.
Did you let the engine warm up for at least 10mins?
That will give ya a little higher #s.

Thumbs down

I talked to blwfly last nite on the phone and told him to give the Car back.
Having a Bolt tearing up the inside of the engine and 30psi Compression = Give The Car Back and Get Your Money & Run Far Far Away from this deal.

I personally know the previous owner of the car, and yes he was selling it because it had its problems. I doubt he implied it was perfect, and I also doubt there was any warrenty implied.

Either way, its great to see Derek's car in the hands of another rotorhead, fix her up well and do what he couldn't!

Hey Bud;
If you can buy the car for what you told me you put down on it, then go for it.
But take a time out for awhile before you end up in ReHab.
I have the same Addiction as you well know.
Take Care
