79 4x4 Wont Start
Hello everyone. I am new to Toyotas. I just bought a 79 4x4 with a 20r with 150k miles.
The good-
New headers
Weber Carb
No frame rust
All original Parts
The Bad
Won't start because of no compression due to a "cylinder seal" (according to the guy I bought it from)
I can see the truck getting fuel and it cranks perfectly. My question is what is my best option to get it running good. I have a decent budget and I was wondering if I should get a new engine, rebuild this one, or do something else. The issue is I live in Montana so parts are a little harder to come by and I pretty much have to order everything if NAPA doesn't have it.
Thanks

I talked to NAPA and a "new" 20r would be $1,500 and a 22re would be $1,800. Couldn't find any motors on craigslist. Should I rebuild or just drop a new motor?
