My '96T is in the shop again for some engine and TCS light warning. The dealer diagnose the car for several days ow and have come down the to the conclusion that I had low compression on pistons 4 and 6. Value 4 had compression at 104 while value 6 was at 64. They suspect these values might either be bent due to high revving or burnt, but they will know for sure when they open the engine head. If the values are burnt then my extended warranty will cover the cost of parts and labor; otherwise it'll cost me 1.7k just for the labor to open it NOT including parts. They suggest it might be in my best interest to just get a new engine instead.
As for their comment about the high revving this past weekend my friend did rev (actually missed shifting from 3rd to 4th going at triple digit speed) and the engine grinded pretty hard. But the engine like didn't come on until the next evening. So I’m suspecting it might be some bent values but I’m not a mechanic so I don’t really know.
I have until next Tuesday to decide what to do. So I’m begging everyone “what should I do?”
