We bought a 1941 Packard Clipper in July. It has been at the mechanics ever since. We discovered that someone had put bb's in the cylinders. I got a new head gasket and we had the head planed. We are now trying to start it and it will not start. My mechanic now says the compression is low. Our mechanic told us that to fix it right we need to rebuild the whole engine. He said the cost of that would be at least $10k. All suggestions or input would be greatly appreciated.
