RE: compression test results

[Rich Kinsley <rlkinsley@xxxxxxxxx>]

I was thinking that the numbers were low too. I think mine was about 155 
to 140 stock before rebuild and now it's 185 each. It didn't vary by 
1psi last time as I recall.

You should put some oil in the cylinders and recheck it to see if the 
compression goes up.
