Rebuild questions
When is it considered the best time to rebuild your engine(at what mileage)?
At what point does the engine start to lose horsepower(mileage on average)?
Also should you rebuild your engine before installing a turbo?
thanks for your help

MY guess as to when I die will be with my car that or trampled by a unicorn
So how do you determined the amount of life the engine has left or is there no way to tell?

I got one little while ago but I was a little confused at the dealership they only gave me 3 reading wouldn't you get 6 reading 1 for each apex seal? here's the reading's
rotor1 05.4
rotor2 05.6
rotor3 05.6
@182RPM
here's what the shop manual said
Compression pressure
• Standard: 830 kPa {8.5 kgf/cm2, 120 psi} [250 rpm]
• Minimum: 680 kPa {6.9 kgf/cm2, 98.6 psi} [250 rpm]
• Difference in chambers: Within 150 kPa {1.5 kgf/cm2, 21.8 psi}
• Difference in rotors: Within 100 kPa {1.0 kgf/cm2, 14.5 psi}
rotor1 05.4
rotor2 05.6
rotor3 05.6

Even at a higher cranking speed it wont change that much... no matter which way you look at it it's pretty borderline. And as far as the original question goes if you are going FI and want to do it right. Then a rebuild is a decent idea. Maybe upgrade to esmeril seals etc..
