"Hi

"Hi
I have compression tested the engine and get ZERO on one, 55 on the cylinder above. The other two cylinders seem fine on 110 each.
I need to rebuild, one liner is quite heavily scored in one area and the other is very lightly scored. Will I need to install new liners or can they be bored out.
Can I have the block bored and oversize pistons and rings fitted. I presume all four pistons must then be oversize?
What parts am I looking at here, set of pistons and rings and a full gasket set? How much is this going to run to.
What would have caused this problem, what should I look for when breaking it open.
I have a friend who will do most of the work, as my knowledge of engines is confined to the simple (Spark/air/fuel) and how to diagnose running faults. Not rebuilds.
Thanks
