my '75 cl360 wasn't running so i took it to the shop.
bad leak down test and bad compression. they pulled the engine and apparently i have a broken ring. the mechanic wants to bore out the cylinders and put in bigger pistons but it's gonna cost an arm and a leg.
i asked if buying this would be an option and he said no that w/o measurements there's no way of knowing if those pistons and cylinders are any good.
this mechanic is new to me so i just wanted to double check i'm not getting screwed.
what do you guys think?
thanks!
