Some people can make them up for you, at a far more reasonable cost!
I would contact a supplier of bearings and seals.

I am not quite sure I understand the problem of low compression on one cylinder, is he talking about bent valves or is he taking about the pressure of the fuel delivery.

Don't forget to test the pumps delivery pressure as well. It is possible that it is too low.

Good to hear you are in one piece!
Hi Kaiser
I ordered and deliver a pump and fuel filter in my garage.
His secretary said now get a pressure of 4 bars without specifying what part was changed. But the car will not start.
Until we have further information on the work that has been done by the mechanic, Can you tell me how does one measure the discharge pressure of the pump?
The mechanic had diagnosed a compression problem on a cylinder . But when I asked the question on which cylinder, he said he must first solve the problem of fuel pressure.
That's where I am
