WOW, that is really low compression! How was the engine running, when it was running? What kind of air cleaner were you using? What kind of motor oil?

I bought one D24T car that immediately needed engine replacement. We figured it was because the previous owner lived at the bottom of a long steep hill. Evidently she would boot it going up that hill every morning, engine cold. Prematurely wore out the engine, compression primarily, probably not good for the turbo either.

What trans are you going to use behind the OM616?
