Hey guys, Over the weekend I had a minute to finally do a compression test. The engine has 130K and the factory rebuilt heads have 70-80K on them. The results are: #1 = 125 lbs #2 = 150 lbs #3 = 125 lbs #4 = 150 lbs I see a pattern here, the front cylinders seem to have aged faster than the rears. Also, when I double checked #3 after checking #4, #3 read even lower, 90 lbs. The engine runs fine, idles a little rough, does not eat water or oil. Should I be concerned, should I start saving now for a valve job?. Any ideas would be appreciated. -- Hotch 86 GL Philly hotch@netaxs.com
