Would the engine run with poor compression like that so I can try and see if the compression could get better or should I just tear it down and redo rings right away.
Thanks
I will say it again...
Compression numbers on a cold engine mean next to nothing.
You have been given recommendations including, give up and buy another engine, give up and have this engine completely rebuilt, and try to get this engine to run.
Now it is time to reread all of these posts and make a decision.
