1800 for a remanned engine...wow. If it comes down to it, want me to troll a couple yards up here to see if they have any decent 300's around? Might be able to find you one, but no promises.

I'll do a compression test this weekend. I'll be honest it doesn't even start hard so i don't think the compression is that low. And i dunno what's up but after installing the catch can there's really not a whole lot of blowby cause there's barely any in it so far.
