Message	That's ridiculous. You're going to trust an engine that's essentially unknown without at least a moderate rebuild? Compression numbers are all well and good (and they're pretty much the only think you *really* know about a motor you buy from overseas), but they're a poor substitute for known good parts. I'd rather rebuild a block with a spun bearing than change the timing belt on an imported motor with unknown history. Your powers are useless! I'm wearing my tinfoil underwear!
