Re: Compression followup

[Raldel@domain.elided]

  That's a good test, but indicates your rings and/or cylinders are in need 
of some rehab. Those compression figures are extrememly high and abnormal. 
With the oil, you have temporarily eliminated most of the blow by and 
exaggerated your compression. Get ready for a top end job.

I asked about compression and I had 90-120-120-150 previously. When Oil was 
added the first came up to 150 range.

Following the advice on this list I added Marvel Mystery oil to warm engine 
from plug holes and let it stand overnight. Drove around a little more and 
measured compression again.
190-190-193-195 Great!

Thanks again
