Car: 200sx se

Post

I have a 1998 200sx SE with a 108000 miles on it.

Driving downhill and the car completely loses all power, I get it towed to a mechanic and they run diagnostic tests on it.

Fuel system is fine but three of the cylinders have low pressure, one of them has normal pressure.

he believes the cylinders are warped but since we have not taken out the cylinders yet we do know if it could be a cracked engine either.

Also the car turns over and continues to turn over and over again but it will not start.


I paid 2200 for the car and the Cylinder head job would be 2000 dollars(approx)

Im coming here for a second opinion, to determine whether or not it is the cylinder heads based on the information I have given, 2000 dollars is pretty hefty.


I appreciate all the help.

You could get a junkyard engine installed for less than that, just saying.
