Hey guys,
I am looking to buy a 97 Cobra with 80,000 miles. The car is pretty clean, but there is a problem in the motor. The place selling it states the compression is low in cylinder 7, and all others are great. They inspected the cylinder and seem to think there is an issue with the exhaust valves.
Any thoughts on the repair? I am capable of the work except for rebuilding the heads. I understand the motor comes out which is not a problem. I have experience with 302s and FE motors but not DOHC stuff.
The price is right on the car, and I am looking for reasons not to pull the trigger here.
Thanks
Robb
