Rebuild top end or replace motor?

Post by Forestvillian »

Got my 86 spree up and running. Ran great for a couple weeks then died and wouldn’t start.

Zero compression.

So the question is. Swap the motor or rebuild top end? I was thinking I could rebuild but I don’t know the official cause so that technically could happen again.

Find the problem..could be as simple as a $5 blown head gasket. Even a loose or broken head bolt, etc...DIAGNOSE IT before you make a decision.
I need to find some new haters...the ones I have are starting to like me.
