Hey Guys,
Met a young couple on the dock today who just bought their first boat. There is a great looking A4 that won't start. They were told it hadn't run in a few years. turns over fine. Their local mechanic told them there is no compression and that he needs to take the engine out.
Shouldn't they try loosening the valves first? Take off the valve cover, spray some penetration oil, persuade the valves to loosen up? I haven't had to go that direction as of yet, but picked up that idea from endless lurking here.
Thanks!
