TR6 Compression Test Results

[Jeff Nathanson <jeffn@msystech.com>]

Did a compression test on my '71 TR6 and would like to know what the group
thinks the problem(s) is(are). The odometer reads 84295, but it read the
same back in '91! (From old title). But I think it was not driven for the past 
several years. However I've been driving it the past week (since I got it 
registered). The engine sputters while idle, and somewhat rough during 
accelarating. Some backfiring.

And the envelope,please:


        Cylinder #              PSI
             1                  145
             2                  110
             3                  110
             4                  130
             5                  150
             6                  140

      
        I am hoping that the consensus is that a reconditioned head will
fix the problem. Can't afford much more.


                Thanks,
