hunter85 Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Hi I sold a starion about 5 months ago to a person who is selling it now .... long story short had perfect compression and was in good shape when it left my shop hes ran it into the ground put a straight pipe exhaust on it and he came over this weekend asking for help I did a compression check for him cyl 2 has 60psi the starter is going out and in general looks like crap compared to what I did to it. JUST A WARNING FOR PEOPLE IN KNOXVILLE OR LOOKING he is asking 5000 on it you will at very least need a head gasket but I think the head has a hairline crack in it now as the rest of the cylinders where at 90psi lol just a heads up thanks guys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills89quest Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 wow. If the guy who's selling it sees this thread, I bet this is going to turn into an interesting topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntercooledFlatty Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 unless he's honest about the ad ... but at 5k it better be an 89 Starion Balt Blue that's MINT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
