Pontiac Grand Am

[Corey 78K5]

Looks like I'm gonna get one at work for the cost of a tow bill. It's a 2 dr with the 2.4L 4cyl. The engine only has compression on one hole and the other three have zero. I checked the timing chain and everything looks good there. I figure that it's either three burnt pistons which I doubt or some stuck valves.
Would it be worth it to do a head job on it or would I be better off replacing the engine all together.

I'd pull the head and check everything first.

I was thinking that I could just pull the cam covers, which would take about 15 min. and have a quick looky. All in all I think it will be a good deal since it will only cost Me $140 for the car /forums/images/graemlins/whistling.gif Other than that everything else about the car is in working order.
