I was just curious as to what the problem is. For example, are they saying it's worn valve guides? Does a leakdown/compression test tell you if the valve guides are worn?

Either way, if the numbers are bad, they are bad, so some rebuilding is in the future. I was just curious as to the specifics of their diagnosis.
I didn't listen 100% when he was telling me, but basically 2-3 of the cylinders are very weak. I'll ask him later about details. I'm trying to get in contact with my brother just in case he still wants to keep it and do the rebuild. Most likely he won't as it's a hassle for us.
