So the big moment has come. Next week , at school, i`ll take a moment to check the compression and leakdown checks( I don`t have the time or the tools at home ). The spec is 218 PSI optimal, 200 PSI minimum, 14 PSI Max between cylinders(6-8 cycles). Leak : 32% Max. (Ondemand5, ALLDATA)
If the results shows rings wear or damage , bent valves or even a blown head gasket , the Tiburon will be sold or dumped at the local scrapyard. I`m not getting into engine repairs, I already have a lot to take care of on the car.
My clutch / Flywheel/ Pressure Plate ? I can repair this at school. Rust ? Grind it. Dents? Change that panel. Electrical gizmos dying ? I can do wiring just fine. A crash ? Bodykit/FL conversion.
A dead engine ? Take the engine out, tear it apart, change the piece, get a shop to machine it, put it back together then fire it up? No thanks , the price to actually do that , even all by myself , is sky high. I won`t " Invest " that kind of money to save a Hyundai ( Let`s face it ).
My question :
What could make you say goodbye to your Tiburon?
