**UPDATE**

The car is up at Brandon "Satan", err, I mean Brandon Mitsubishi. I have to have the tech crack the block to see what's wrong (yeah, I'm getting gang raped here with no lube, but unfortunately, I am far from a certified mechanic).

Compression results per test ran by dealership: 1 cylinder is dead at 0. The other 3 are at 165-165-160.

The "service advisor" stated they would need to crack the block, just to "see" what's wrong. He stated it could be a blown piston head, piston ring, collapsed valve, or bad valve spring.

I'm praying that at the "most", it will be a valve spring or valve. I'm assuming I'm fucked if it's piston related right? I know I'd just be better off with a 6-Bolt, but I don't have that type of cash to drop at the moment. Could I just get a new piston head and or ring installed rather than having to replace/rebuild the whole entire motor?

He stated that the belt could of slipped a few teeth, what I don't understand though, is how that could of happened if the car was not being totally floored/redlined?

Brothers, you guys wanna chime in, if it ends up being some rediculous amount that the dealership wants to make the "repair" to fix my problem, I may just get it towed to you fellas' if you don't mind the extra work.

Damn, figures that this shit happens right before Christmas.

Any other thoughts or suggestions folks?
