I have read that the only major thing with the R is the high pressure Turbo and the electronics. I could be wrong though... There is no oil in the water and no water in the oil. There is a pungent smell of gasoline and oil from the leak(s). I did put oil in the cylinder and tried the comp test again...with no success. I don't REALLY want to have to rebuild the head on the car, but it's a LOT less than finding a motor. I got this car for $1300. I think it was a pretty good deal. Even if I have to rebuild the head... The 960 wheels I have are off of a 95+ model. The offset is the same as the 850 wheels...I've seen a number of late 960's with the 850 wheel and the opposite. The late 960 wheels will NOT fit an earlier car. When I took the spark plugs out...cylinders 1,4, and 5 looked ok. The 2 and 3 were totally black... I assume that they got soaked with gasoline when they stopped firing. When I got the car, 2 and 3 spark plug wires weren't getting spark. I just can't imagine what is giving 0 compression. Thanks guys...you're giving me hope! Mark this post as an answer to my question<- Use this feature to mark quality replies to your post.
