Hello,
I have a new customer here in my workshop with a 1979 Buick Regal. I have recently taken compression ( and performed a leakdown test ) and the result are bad, 125psi on 5 cylinder but only 90Psi on one .... So its rebuild time !
my probem is for the 196Ci ( 3.2L ) i didnt find piston ring ( std or oversize ) neither than piston ( std or oversize ) what do you do in these condition ? Any other piston can work and if yes from wich engine ? Since i dont have piston spec here ...
may swap over the 3.8L but no v8 ( here in belgium, technical control is relatively strict with swap ... )
TIA
