My SVX decided to post its own fail thread.
Now for the tough decision, JDM motor, rebuild this one, buy one from a junk yard, or part the car. -Patrick (p.s, this is on the $1500 tritone special, not the black beauty)

it would appear to be just this one, though I will run a test on the others when I have a chance.
Proper buildup of compression on the first two strokes, then just stops there. Rings, methinks.

Ill yank the motor over the weekend and inspect the HG and valves first hand. I'll let you kn
ow what my findings are. The blue smoke on startup tells me its rings though.

Put two squirts of oil into the cylinder and check it again, if it goes higher = rings, if it stays about the same, it's a burnt valve, etc...
Are you checking it with all six plugs removed and the throttle wide open? You could also have a stuck ring, might try squirting some marvel mystery oil in the cylinder. Did you sell the engine out of the claret? I wouldn't part that car out, too nice lol...
