n engine guy=E2=80=A6<br>
Adjusted the valves in my 76 TR6. Prior to adjustment they were all over the=
 place ranging from .008 to .012 or a little more. Now all are at spec of .0=
1 and have run through a few times to confirm.<br>
Prior to adjustment cold compression ranged from 105 to 115 averaging around=
 110. After adjustment two cylinders are a little over 115 with remaining ar=
ound 120.<br>
My question is=E2=80=A6can setting valves to spec result in better compressi=
on? <br>
