(Hardly worth posting, but in case some poor soul with nothing better to
do is following this story)

I originally wrote that three of the cylinders got 155 psi and one (Cyl#
2) got 120 psi. That was a typo, it is Cyl# 1 that is low. Just to keep
the record accurate.

On the advice of a helpful listee, I checked for a tight valve by
loosening the valve adjusters for the two valves on the affected
cylinder by half a turn each and tested again, no diff.
