How much life is left in my engine

Posted by Dave on September 22, 1999 at 23:34:18:

I have a 2.25 petrol that has apporx 41,000
I recenlty had a compression and leak test done
Cylinder 1 comp:145 leaks 60% intake
Cylinder 2 comp:145 12%
Cylinder 3 comp:140 leaks 48% exhaust
Cylinder 4 comp:125 and leaks 55% respectively throught the rings

The engine will do 65/70 with o/d on flat roads, 15 inch rims
The oil is thin and there is possible fuel contamination
It idles at around 800 when cold and a bit more when warm.
it does not smoke and starts right away.
I was told this engine is about to die, How many more miles can I possibly get out of it?
Thanks
Dave
