1.6 TD Rookie Rebuild

[mtnbob]

Mark
1) I am taking this engine apart because it was "supposedly rebuilt", but had poor compression. From the looks of things, the head looks almost new, and it looks like they did a hone and re-ring job. I have no way of knowing what was done and I want this to be a daily driver for years to come.
2) The trouble already exists and it is easier to work on the motor out of the car on an engine stand, which is where it is now.
3) Being a rookie has never stopped me before and I have been learning for a few years on this site. I am confident that I can work anything out along with the great people on this site 
4) Engine turns over smoothly but that is not enough to determine the engine is decent.
5) Agreed
6) Will be doing soon.
7) I don't have much money, but I have plenty of time since this is not the engine currently in my car.
 I thank you for any advice you can give me as this rebuild progresses, I am looking forward to the journey.
