Well #3 cylinder has 20 psi. Im looking for a new or rebuilt 2000 2.5 SOHC. I was thinking of leaving phx area for this, like SmallCar or Metric Motors.

I have had years of issues and been through 2 motors in 3 yrs so dont trust local rebuild’s any longer. Yrs ago i found an online west coast bendor who built new motor s maybe for VWs and sand rails but cant remember who it was.
