rebuilding '79 gld

[gldgti]

I've heard of bottom ends giving up the ghost and loosing compression too, but more than likely it's the head that'll go.

Comp is quite high on the 1.5's, so it'd be worth while to get it checked out imo.

(iirc, it's meant to be 23:1 compression)

23.5:1 to be exact - 23:1 is the 1.6 engine
