I have a 2003 Civic GX that has zero compression in one cylinder, and sounds noisy when turned over - I'm thinking a thrown rod. Any suggestions on what to do - rebuild engine, replace engine, sell car,?
It has approx. 108,000 miles and the transmission was getting a little rough. Honda dealer here (Salt Lake City, UT, Ken Garff) has indicated that I may get some warranty help on the transmission but they won't know until I get the engine fixed. I will say that their "certified" mechanics diagnosed the problem as a plugged catalytic converter (which I had just replaced 9 months earlier). I took it to a private repair facility that had the sense to do a compression check and determine that one cylinder has no compression, which lead them to diagnose it as an engine problem.
Any advise on what to do would be appreciated.

. The trans is worth $$$ even if rough, the pressure regulator , injector and fuel tank have value too , in addition to the body, chassis and interior.
