everybodies guessin' Have a '86 volvo that started missing at 200K so took it to a shop and the engine is bad. Asked him how he knew that. Well the compression is this on #1 this on #2 this on #3 and this on #4; nmbers 3 & 4 were low OK how do you know it's not valves he had shot oil in the cylinders and the compression didn't change. Then he offered the options: 1) He would put in a new engine for $4K 2) Donate it for $1.5K to 2K 3) Sell to him for a parts car, maybe 500. Talked to the wife, we rebuilt it ourselves over ayears time and included updating other stuff on the car like springs, shocks, wheels and tires spent a total of $4K and it is her daily driver for the past 10 years.
My suggestion is ask the dealer how he knows the engine is bad. How does he know its bad heads. Then decide based on the condition of the car if that's the only thing wrong. You decide to fix it Call Dick.
