I found that although all my compressions were between 160
and 165psi I still had a broken top ring in one cylinder and
damaged top ring lands in all cylinders.

>From poor gapping of the rings.

The second compression ring and lands were all ok.

My guess is that both compression rings have to be damaged
before you get a significant drop in compression.

Jim and the TR4 in bits.
