Very strange compression test results
OK, the engine runs like a champ after fixing the valve lash. It is still an old engine for sure but now it runs smooth and will drive. So I can drive it around a bit and see what else needs work without having to pull the engine first.
I tested a few cylinders when it was warm and most readings went up about 10%. Cylinder 8 (the lowest one) was 90 cold, 95 warm, and 115 warm with oil squirted into cylinder.
But I am very happy with a smooth running engine at least!
