ok so i have low compression in to pistons, whats the best idea as to whether to have a new engine or get a rebuild? if im honest im a bit worried about getting a new one from somewhere like ebay as i wouldnt know what i was buying, what are peoples thoughts on a rebuild? im not looking to upgrade as im happy with the 16v abf as im not a racer how much is a rebuild likely to cost any ideas?
cheers
tom

as above m8 look at my thread in this section the cost wasnt a lot managed to most of it my self the rings was most exspensive bit
altho i was down on compression the car still went like a rocket but smoked like pig i have no idea what it goes like now as taking it easy for 300 -400 miles which is very boring i can tell ya lol
