  1. Also, an engine can have low compression and be perfectly healthy.

    I know people on here were getting 110 PSI across all four cylinders after a rebuild.

    The key is ACROSS all four.

    So ensure that all cylinders are of similar condition.

    That's not true. 110 is far too low unless it's a low comp build.

    Look at wiring, if that is bodged it's a good indication what the rest of the car might be like.

    Buy the most expensive/best one you can afford.

    Check normal things like oil etc

  2. The main thing that affects oil pressure is the bearings and large oil clearances.id drop the sump and look at the bearings. If okay change the pump. Shinning valve is a bit of a bodge

  3. I don't think they are bad at all tbh I've had them in nearly all my starlets not sure what the fuss is about with them people say it feels like there interior is going to fall apart I've never experienced that at all

    My CD surround used to fall out weekly tbf. But that was because everything had been apart and banged back together with a mix of screws. Apart from that didn't think they were that bad. But then I'd never choose to daily a starlet ever again
