Help me figure out problem from symptoms
Hey there's this guy that's selling a z6 long block for pretty cheap but he says that his motor is blown. i'm wondering if i should still buy it, if its totally trashed or it can be rebuilt easily. i'm planning on pistons and rods and maybe some mild porting and cams...
i'm not a good enough mech to know from the sounds and stuff but here's what i can say.
here are the problems:
-could be valves...
-Clicking sound
-After it warms up, the car shuts off at idle
-Feels like its not getting any compression, could be a ring.
-no spark on cylinder 1
-when u open the oil cap a lot of air comes out
-it starts.. and drives for a bit..
so what do u guys think? trash? or perfect for a cheap rebuild? can i at leaste use the block, any guarantees on that? Thanks to those of you who help!

ticking is probably valves. I bet it's rebuildable for sure.
but for sure do a leakdown test to see where the air is leaking from. might just need the head rebuilt, or just the block, or, er.. both... wont know until you test it.
