Sounds like your BS meter has low compression as well

Well, the engine is out. One of the tip seals is missing and there are huge gouges on the rear rotor, so I can see where it has been on its travels. Much as expected, so off to get a recon motor. I've read threads on amateur refurbs that haven't gone well, so not feeling lucky enough to try!
