Oddly enough, some very old engines actually had compression relief valves, to 
kill the compression and make them easier to start!

I've driven TR3s that didn't blow much better than Ann's numbers (except for 
the 0), and they actually started easy.  Didn't make
much power, but I drove a whole Indiana winter that way and it started every 
time (once I added an alternator to keep the battery
charged).
