Compression is going all over the place now. Need to check and see if
the head nuts are loose since this motor was stored 6 or 7 years then
fired back up (with fresh oil and after hand turning a while)
1 -- 155
2 -- 140
3 -- 130
4 -- 165
Somebody raffle off a fresh rebuild since I seem to have good luck with
raffles. ;-)
