My new car!!!
My new car!!!
pft... a 97 Honduh Accord!
$200 from a buddy. Issue... I fear a complete meltdown of the motor. He was driving it a few months ago & it got really hot. He pulled over, let it cool, then started it & it let out giant puffs of white smoke. So he towed it home & it's been sitting since. I trailered it home last weekend & did a compression check:
Cyl#1 - 0psi (possible hole in piston???)
Cyl#2 - 35psi
Cyl#3 - 42psi
Cyl#4 - 30psi
yeah....
I'm going to remove the head & inspect. If it's more than a headgasket / melted head I'll prolly craigslist it for parts.

lol... I felt the same way once I saw the compression gauge still reading 0. Indeed I won't be spending much time on it.
I've had that maroon 280zxt for a couple years now. I bought it for $400 w/ a blown headgasket. It's an 82 2+2 w/ better interior than mine so I'll swap all that in one day. I also want to build a turbo s30... just gotta find one.
Sold to a guy who has an extra Accord F22 motor. I did nothing to the car and made $300.
I prolly could have sold it for more, but he was the first to come along & I really didn't want to keep it.
