I tried the conversion myself trusting (mistrusting) my rusty algebra skills
and got similar numbers and didn't believe it when I did the conversion.
You mean my $5 swap meet tester is out of calibration, damn;( But it's a
Penske tool.
Well hopefully the values show reliable consistency between cylinders even
if the measurement is wrong.
Thanks Jim.

2.54 cm = 1 in
therefore,
6.45 cm*2 = 1 in*2
Something ain't quite right here though.. If you really measured
lb/cm*2 your 5th stroke values come up in the 320 to 390 range. I don't
know what standard compression should be on a 1275, Phil, but those numbers
seem awfully high! Just a wild guess - I would be looking for compression
values somewhere around 150.
