Default Re: h22a NO compression ?

Is it worth it? How would we know without knowing what the motor looks like, how many miles are supposedly on it, and how much it is being sold for?

Could be any/all of the following:
- No spark plugs (assuming you're just cranking it and not checking with a meter)
- Loose head bolts all around
- Broken/blown head gasket
- Bent/stuck valves
- Cracked/broken head
- Cracked/broken block
- Damaged pistons/rings

If it has ZERO compression across all cylinders, and the current owner can't tell you why, I'd pay no more than $50 for it.
