Compression Test:
170/175/175/170 Leak Down: 30/30/30/20 The car has been sitting for the good part of almost 2 years. It is turned on roughly once a month and driven even less. So, I've been doing my research and I have heard that 20% leak down is marginal, and anything above 20% is a definite warning sign for trouble. What should my expectations be for the motor at this point as far as how long is it going to last me? Are there ways to salvage what's left of the motor/prolong its life?

I'm not sure, I'm planning on having another shop do another leak down and see if they can pin-point where the leak is coming from.
