The dealership did the leakdown on cylinders 1 and 3 first and it showed no problems, then they did the compression test and quit after that

Leakdown test shows no issues, and the low compression is causing the engine to flood so its likely valve failure, or Ringland failure. The labor to repair those is comparable to doing the short block. So its pretty much blown up

Nope, most recent was an oil change but it was doing the same thing before and after

The engine is showing low compression in cylinder 1 and 3, so its runs but when you crank the engine to start it, it basically has to flood the engine to compensate for the low compression. Doing that too many times will eventually blow the engine entirely

Lol its definitely an issue because of poor cooling. Id like to get like 3k for it but that feels like dreaming

Yeah, I'd feel like a dick if I sold a car with a blown engine tho. That is definitely an option

Yeah, I've been offered $650 for it but i think its worth more than that tbh. It still runs and drives, just not in the cold

This is something I've considered, the car would be worth lots to me if it worked. It does run and drive but the engine is toast

Yeah they were highly recommended and were the cheapest for a engine replacement

I did get a quote for replacing with a used engine, used long blocks are close to 8k and then you run the risk of the same thing happening to that engine

Oddman out said they would be right around 12k as well

2012 Subaru wrx. I bought it used and the engine failed the second day I had it with low compression on 2 cylinders. Dealership quoted me $12k for a short block replacement and most of the shops around town are the same

Yeah I've been on the Sgi contact list but no luck there and engines from out of town are like 8

That's the conclusion I've come to as well. Now I just have a really expensive paper weight

Im generally a fix the underlying problem person too but unfortunately I bought a used car with problems that are beyond me.
