Message	So to sum it up: cylinders 2 and 3 have compression of 90. Last fall my timing belt broke so I'm attributing the low compression to bent valves. I don't WANT to sell the Z, but obviously that is an option. Would you...... 1. Rebuild current heads 2. Find "good" used heads 3. Find "good" used TT engine and swap Car has 136k on it, I've owned it since 31k. What I want: a reliable, solid driving Z. Not looking to spend $10k on engine internals, so don't suggest I do that. I like the Z in stock form for the most part and I never plan on hitting 600HP.
