I just picked up an 84' GL which =
overheated the
last time it was driven. It has been parked for about a =
year. That's
all I know from the PO. It seems to crank well and sound generally =
fairly
healthy, but it won't fire. It has good spark, and fuel delivery =
at the
injectors looks good. A compression test showed only 30 psi on 2
cylinders, I'm assuming this is a result of the overheating. I =
have a few
questions;
1) What is the =
typical damage
from overheating? ( rings, valves?? ) (The heads still hold
coolant)
2) Is it worth =
investigating
futher into this engine or should it go to the scrap heap?
Thanks in advance
