I’m looking a purchasing a used 2001 sportster LE with a rebuilt 951cc engine. The owner has paperwork to show that it was bored oversize with new pistons and rings. The invoice also shows a crank rebuild kit but not sure what that included. The boat is in a heated storage area for the winter. After the rebuild, it was water tested by the shop that did the work but never completely broken in. The current owner started the boat with no water for about 15 seconds without any water just to prove that the boat ran. After this, I did a compress test on the cold engine and only got values of 120 on the pump side and 110 on the other. Is this motor viable or a time bomb?
