Hello all,
My 1992 k100rs engine with 91k miles is pretty much dead. There is 0 psi compression on the 1st cylinder. The others are: cylinder 2 = 140 psi, cylinder 3 = 140 psi, cylinder 4 = 130 psi. In order to fix that 1st cylinder, regardless of what it is, I'm looking at around $1,500 - $2,500 USD, whether I do it myself or take it to a shop.
So, I found a 1991 K100RS 16v engine with only 29k miles. It has 200 psi on each cylinder, and is up for sale for $500. This seems to be my best option at the moment.
The question is: Can I replace my 1992 engine with that 1991 engine? Aka, are they interchangeable?
Thank you!
