Compression check

Postby Dusty B » Wed Jun 02, 2021 7:21 am

:? Finally got around to doing a compression check on the A! 90# dry, 120# wet on 3 cylinders, 0# on cylinder # 1!! Hope it’s as minor as a stuck valve!!! :shock: other possibilities??

how would timing effect compression if your getting good compression on 3 cylinders?

He is going to double check the ignition timing. Ignition timing does not affect compression.
I have an excuse. CRS.
