Message	I've been tearing my Z32 down to put new turbos on, after blowing the DS turbo rather spectacularly. I decided it would be a good idea to go ahead and check compression, on the way out. All of them were between 115 and 125 PSI (actually pretty good at this altitude), except for #5, which was 75 PSI. So, I decided it would be a good idea, based on this information, to plan for a rebuild, which brings me to my question. Should I replace the pistons, or just go for a re-ring and hone? I'm replacing the turbos with a pair of GT2860R, the injectors with 740cc units, and hoping for low to mid 400's for power. For kicks, the prompt to rebuild: The reason why only *one* head is off... Your powers are useless! I'm wearing my tinfoil underwear!
