Will Compression #'s do when selling 3.2?
It looks like i'll be parting an 85 carrera.
i went to a shop to have e leakdown test done and got the runaround. so, without a leakdown test will a compression test suffice to possible buyers?

It wouldn't to me. I want to see leakdown numbers. Compression test only tells part of the story, and maybe not even the most important part.

Yes for me. If compression numbers are really good, you don't need leak down tests. If compression numbers are bad, then you need leak down test to tell you where the problem is.
