:help: Does anyone know anything about the twin overhead cam motor? I just recently bought a 1995 SL2 and there is a compression problem and I do not know anything about it, and need some advice on how to fix it without taking it to a mechanic.

Which cylinder(s)?

Easiest fix to a compression problem is new spark plugs... if you already tried that, then you might be in trouble.

There are a few bright people over at xtremesaturn.com forum, maybe they can help.

sounds like the same thing im going through
its in the head bad valves I have a 93 sl2
130.000 on it i found and replaced weak valve springs
and worn cup adjusters this did the trick

its a little work but its worth it

What do spark plugs have to do with compression?

To the original poster:

How do you know you have a compression problem? What are the cars symptoms?

More info please.
