If you lost engine compression do you need to replace the motor and where can you buy a good running motor in the Detroit area?
loosing compression does not mean you have to get a new motor it can just mean u have a blown head gasket if its an old carIf compression is lost on only a few cylinders, then check the head gaskets. If compression is lost on all cylinders, check for a worn or broken timing chain.

If it is new because the bike has full compression if it is old its good because it still has good comperssion
How do you make an older car run smoothly as though it were new?
I don't know how old old is, but a compression check would be a good place to start. If all the compression is the same, start by rebuilding the carb, new plugs and wires and points and condensor in an older distributor. That's all there is.
Can your car overheat due to low compression?
yes. because engine will have a hard time pushing the cylinders and if your fan is attached to the crankshaft(old engines), it will produce less air.
Why doesmy truck turn over but wont start?
It's the same with all vehicle engine starting troubles... the problem is one of the following:* Compression * Fuel * Ignition Use a compression gauge to check the compression.Use starting fluid to see if the engine will start that way.Pull a plug wire, connect it to a spare plug and lay it on a metal surface of the engine then "crank" the engine to see if there is a strong spark, and use a timing light to verify timing.Eliminate whatever ISN't the problem and whatever is left IS the problem.It doesn't matter if the engine is an old 49 Studebaker or a 2009 Lamborghini...If the engine has compression, fuel and a proper ignition supplied at the right timing, the engine MUST run. It's simple physics.
You change the timing belt on a 1999 ford xlt and the truck still won't start?
Check the compression. If compression is down you may have put the timing belt on wrong. If it's down for only one or two cylinders, your engine may have damaged itself when the old timing belt gave out.
