Low Compression
I just talked to my mechanic and he told me that the number 3 cylinder on my 7MGE has low compression. The head gasket was just replaced with an aftermarket metalic one, the head was milled and toqued on to about 70-75lbs. The car is also burning a quart of oil every 500 miles or so. He says the problem is related to the piston ring and I tend to agree with him but I don't want to replace the engine (which is what he is recommending). Any suggestions?
