Subject:80 Westy engine kaput

My 80 Westy has not been running well, so I finally got around
to doing a compression test. Here were the results:

1 - 60
2 - 140
3 - 85
4 - 160

I can't imagine worse results. I am pretty sure I did get accurate
readings. I rechecked # 1,3 and got the same results.

This may be the kiss of death for this puppy as the van is in
fairly rough condition. As I walked away I was thinking
"not another dime".
