I drove the old motor to school last November and hit a deer while looking at my oil pressure dropping off because i ran out of oil and couldn't stop to add more as the starter died and it wouldn't idle so i cooked the motor in it and it went from an avg compression of 87 to 25 psi but it didn't throw a rod and i might sell the old 223 here for parts. I feel bad for cooking the old motor but there was nothing i could do without being stranded out in the backwoods.
