Just a quick update. The Westy is at a second shop for a second opinion. The first mechanic reported the compression and leak down results: #1 120 psi 10% (source unknown) #3 80 psi 15% (exhuast vavle) #2 170 psi #4 180 psi It will be interesting to see what the second mechanic finds/recommends. Second opinions can sometime be very illuminating. The engine seems about as strong as I expected in a seat of the pants way. The engine does have 131k so the fact that it would need a little (or alot) of TLC shounldn't be a big suprise. I'll see. Sam
