Need a favour (in Sydney)
Anyone in Sydney can do me a favour and check and engine for me? I am in Melbourne so buying it sight unseen. If anyone can spare an hr or so to go
& start it and just have a general look would be much appreciated. Its in Liverpool I believe

I might be able to have a look at it this weekend for you. I'll let you know. Not sure what help that would be though!!!!
I've got your number. Should be able to ship to Melb for about $170. Just a guess. |

That would be really great. He's telling me that the compression was 155 in all excpet #3 which was 152. I just want someone to have a quick look
to see if there is anything obvious (oil pouring out or something, smoke everywhere, rough idling) and start it up
I owe you big time
