If the compression is ****ed you need a new motor or rebuild the one you have.

[Nunook]

what were the compression numbers that you got?

[nothinbutnissan]

man yo they were low they where all under 100 but we did it on 4 different test and only 1 was at 120

Rebuild it.

not necessairly cause the problem could also be that the rings are stuck from sitting so long or could have carbon built up around them keepin them from expanding, in all try to use something like seafoam or mccc(from dodge dealer) and see if that helps?
