·Are compression checks REALLY
Are compression checks REALLY necessary?
I mean, if the car's been cared for, it doesn't leak oil, starts and runs fine, pulls strong, and there is no other indications it may be bad, why would you do a compression check?
I you were buying a Honda, would you have one done? Are Ferrari engines less reliable? Are they so fragile that they'll blow gaskets and leak past the rings that easy?
Logic tells me I should have it done every few years if it's always required with a PPI.
I'm just curious b/c I've never heard of doing this to a car before I started to look for a Ferrari. EVERYONE, at least, all the owners say, you HAVE TO HAVE A COMPRESSION or LEAK DOWN done....my question is WHY? If the car is a few years old, why would this be required?
JRV, do you do a compression check on every Ferrari you PPI?
Yes, I know it's cheap insurance, but I just would like to apply some logic here.
thanks
