Jeez folks, I didn't mean for my question to turn into a childish spat. There's enough of that going on in this country right now.

Yes, owner has told me. It failed smog and he had another place run compression test. Average shop rate around these part $110ph.

Thanks for that. At this point I'm looking at worse case cost to see if this rig is worth buying at all. So if I count 2k for a new engine, any idea how many hours labor at a shop to do the work? I don't have the facility to do this at home (nor the ability if I'm honest) Thanks

Thanks Derek, I'm in San Diego but willing to travel for a good shop. Well that would be very nice for it just needed a valve job

I'm looking at a rig that has lost compression in #6 cylinder, everything is decent except this issue. I'm trying to ballpark the cost to have engine rebuilt or replaced. I'm in Cali and whilst she drives fine she won't pass smog. Thanks folks
