Default I don't think the 1st mechanic did anything but 8vercharge.seems

It seems the valve was never fixed so I called the 1st mechanic and asked What thu bleep was I charged for? He said maybe his tool wasn't working correctly. Whatever it is that reads compression. I'm not taking it back to him to correct it. He may pf cost me a car by claiming to have fixed this problem.
. When I drove it yesterday it ran 75%worse than it did when I drove it to mechanic #2

This is starting to feel like a troll. Why are you still driving a car that has unresolved issues? You could be damaging it further. Next time, when you take it to mechanic #4 call your insurance and have it towed over.

Because when I asked if it was okay to drive it I wAS TOLD YES, IT IS OKAY TO DRIVE. I am nit a freaking troll. I really need advice and this is the only place that I could get the truth. However, I am only getting judged and very little advice. Thanks for helping, that is sarcasm.

This is what I was asking in the 1st place. If cky 5 is bad does that mean the engine is done? This is what I wanted to know and all of you pro's out there couldn't even help me out with a simple yes or no.

How about taking the auto to a dealership (God forbid) & try to nail-down their answer. It may be a start.
Best of luck.
