re: compression numbers

[Calvin Krug <ckrug@laf.cioe.com>]

I happen to have just done a compression test on my 1800 motor yeaterday.
The bottom end was rebuilt about 10 years ago, but only has a few thousand
miles on it. The top end was just redone.  I got readings between 120 and
140 pounds for all four.  I would think that the factory numbers would vary
a bit, due to differences in tolerances, and would be fairly meaningless
until the engine had been broken in, and the rings properly seated in the
cylinder.
