Default Houston we have lost cabin pressure....

Hey Monty. I put about 6 gallons through an original P5 and it recently lost compression and or the front bearing leaks a bit. My question is....Can you rebuild this engine and put a houston tuned on it for a resonable price. I would lke to replace the bearings and have it pinched, and tuned. A new p5 is 250 so it's not really cost effective to put a new piston and sleve on it. I've been wanting to run your engines and this may be a great start for me...What do you think I should do without approaching the cost of a new engine? I like those old p5's just for nestalgic reasons so keeping it operational is desired.....

thanks,
Merdith
