He told me that all of the compressions were in the mid to high 7s and that the test was done at spec of 250. I argued that I didn't want to take it without anything being done but he assured me that if I have more problems he would take it back and not charge me. He said that they checked most of the things in that TSB but since I already replaced my plugs, coils and wires and cleaned out the engine they didn't check those things. I'm pretty disappointed in coming away with nothing, but the car did drive home fine so I'm unsure as to what basis I have to argue with at this point. I'd like to get another test done at a different dealer but paying $142 again isn't really feasible for me at this point.

I am never doing a DIY it would take days to write up and I honestly think people shouldn't attempt this. its better to just get a rebuild form a reputable builder.

In any event how much would you want for that blown engine?
