Compression Test all cylinders low.... Here's a picture of what my compression test turned out like..... They are all pretty low IMO... My question is do you guys think I should rebuild it or do you think it will last a while? Its in a 70 Camaro with a T56 and I drive it quite a bit. The motor has just over 100k. I'm rebuilding the tranny soon anyways because my reverse synchro has been going out for a while. I'm just debating on pulling the motor and trans out and rebuiling them both or just pulling the trans.... Thanks for the opinions.

There's plenty of high mileage LS motors with mods still running strong. Unless there is wrong with the motor I would leave it alone. Of you're really concerned,. Do a leakdown test.
