VIEW    READ ONLY    PRINT   SAVE   A    A  850 R Head rebuild or engine replacement? posted by  Dal2HS on  Mon Jun 29 15:05 CST 2009 Author: [PROFILE] [EVERY POST] [THREADS] [BEST POSTS]     [IGNORE ALL POSTS] last visit: Thu Jul 16 11:11 CST 2009 [RELATED] Still no compression in the 2/3 cylinders. I am assuming it has a burned valve or some other head problem... I let oil sit in the cylinders and it took several hours to leak down but still no compression. SO...my big question. Should I seek out a used engine from a car with the same numbers...or should I take on rebuilding the head on this thing. I have never taken on a head r/r before. I have located a couple of machine shops but am really hesitant to take on this two piece head from a bad experience with a 740 16 Valve. I have located a couple of low mileage units in the $6-800 range. Thoughts? Ideas? Mark this post as an answer to my question<- Use this feature to mark quality replies to your post.
