low compression

[kamikazexkilla]

This guy I know is selling a red cat racing buggy but the motor has low compression I can probably get it cheap but can you fix a motor with low compression or do i need a new piston and sleeve?

It would need a piston and sleeve.

And if it needs a piston and sleeve, it probably needs bearings and a new rod as well. No sense only doing half the job because if the worn parts do fail they will take the new parts with them.

Or better get a new engine, a good one.
