All are a bit low. Depending on what shims/flycut you had in the head, it
should be around 135-145. What was the compression right after break in?
Any reason to suspect it has dropped, or has it been low the whole time?

On the positive side, they aren't TOO low (like 80 75 70 80), which prolly
wouldn't start once warmed up.

On an 82 2L aircooled with about 20K after a rebuild

No 1 is 105....No 2 115....No 3 is 105.....No 4 115

Will someone please tell me that these are OK or are they all a bit low.
(As I suspect)

Thanks
