48000 mi, maintenence?

hi my fd 93 tt, has hit 48 000 miles, is there anything that needs replacing and is it around time to start looking at a rebuild?, apparently the compression is a little low? is this normal?

when around did you rebuild your engine?
thanks

If the car runs good, and you are not losing coolant, you don't need a rebuild. The fluids & filters need to be changed regularly. Check the belts for cracking.
