lol, i see your point, better to kill it good than something small requiring a rebuild. its fairly disheartening at the time, but in the end its good to know you now have an engine that can cope with the extra kw
it is funny too, when my compression was down the car still pulled hard and felt like nothing was wrong.. execpt for the oil cloud blocking my rear view and filling up my 1L catch can in one good 4th gear boost
