Sorry to hear the potentially bad news Rob. Worst case I’d opt for the rebuild if budget permits. Be a real shame to see her go but I fully appreciate the practicalities. Good luck and I’m hoping for a less drastic outcome.

I’m trying not to feel too despondent right now.
Car felt a bit down on power, seemed to be smoking quite a bit, so booked it in for a compression test.
Ran the car out on Saturday to a Cafe and the smoke did seem to clear up so that was a positive.
Then it went in to the garage and 5 cylinders seemed fine at 145-152, but one cylinder was down 20%. It’s at about 120.
Spoke to Jimmer and he said it definitely is in trouble, the smoke suggesting piston rings and so therefore the engine needs replacing or a rebuild. Both expensive.
So I’ve got a bit of a decision to make, not immediately (hopefully) but wondered what people thought.
Sell it now - I’ll be totally honest about it, wouldn’t want to stitch anyone up. If so, what would it be worth? Difficult to guess I know.
New engine - cheaper but would be a shame to lose the original engine. Am I just being sentimental and I shouldn’t worry about that?
Rebuild - the most expensive option. But would be a nicely built, basically all new engine that should last for a long time and would hopefully retain some value being the original with the car.
I might be clutching at straws but could it potentially be something less expensive? (Valves or something)
