Car is a 2003 Cobra Convertible. You can skip to the bottom for price and pictures, first half will be it's history. Has perfect compression in 7 out of 8 Cylinders. Number 4 has zero compression. I was swapping my eaton to a kenne bell, and when i started the car, something was up with the throttle body and it revved up to about 7k rpms, blew the FRPS, and fuel was dumped and mixed with my oil. I replaced the sensor, changed the oil 3 times to make sure, took it for a spin on the base tune..I noticed that the car had zero vacuum so i turned around and went back to the shop.Took the valve cover off and the rocker arm from cylinder number 4 was laying inside of the cover. Replaced it with a new one and now the car runs great with a very slight tap that you may or may not be able to hear in the video. Has perfect vacuum, but still no compression. Not blowing any smoke, passenger side head needs to be removed and sent out. I'm cutting my losses with it, wife and i are starting a family and i can't really afford to fix it. So for sale she is. I called a few machine shops and they told me a few thousand dollars to fix, seems to be the going rate. Hell it may be a simple fix i really couldn't tell ya..doesn't smoke one bit, doesn't smell like its burning rich, idles great..runs strong, I would love to fix it but like i said i don't have the time or money at the moment, hoping it'll go to a good home that'll get her up and running again..

Bought it in 2011 with 30k miles on it, now has 65k. I barley drive it, motor was replaced a little under a year ago. The motor has under 10k miles on it.

Check Engine light is on for the EGR Delete and Cats, i'm sure it can be turned off with the handheld i have.
