[QUOTE="owm, post: 604655, member: 26452"] Should do another compression test to see if that lone cylinder has dropped in pressure even further. As the engine is old, it will most likely be due for refreshing of seals, gaskets, rings etc. I never liked putting in a used engine as the internal health of it is unknown. If you are unlucky, you could put in the engine and encounter the same problem in the immediate future. Is your mechanic sure the valve seals are the culprit? No point changing them out, incurring the labor charges and then having to open the engine again if the issue continues. Got to diagnose the it correctly first then crack the engine open. [/QUOTE]
