Shop says I need a new engine
Helo all, this is my first post. I have a 94 X-Cab DX that is not running well. Took it to a shop, this is what they said:
"Check and advise, find chlinders 3 and 6 not firing. Compression test cylinders 3 & 6 find no compression. perform cylinder leak down test, find cylinders 3 and 6 exaust valves leaking at 95%. Also cylinder 1 rings sealing at 50%. Recommend engine swap due to cylinder 1 leak".
$3,800 was the quote to swap out. I don't have that at the moment. The neighbor got a used engine from Japan for around $1,000 and put it in himself some years ago.
I still drive it to the dump and to get lumber or dirt for the garden. Getting about 10 MPG. It shoots a lot of unburned fuel vapor out of the exhaust. Is there a way to disable the injectors to cylinders 3 & 6? Is this advisable?
Thanks
