I just did a compression test on my W150, and the compression reads as follows, starting at #1...

95
60
100
70
105
55

Bleah... So, the head's coming off, and I guess I'll shave the head down to raise the CR while I'm at fixing the valves.

I should have figured something was up, when i went to set the valves the previous person had clearances in the 25 to 45 thousandths range...

I feel for ya. I was putting compressed air into my cylinders to change valve stem seals and felt a nice breeze out of the exhaust ports.

hey, your compression is great compared to mine!

30
60
120
60
90
125

something like that. still trying to hammer out the starting issue, looking for clues as it may relate to compression. i get starter turnover when turning key back from start.

she's up and running...kind of amazing, eh? that compression check was done by majhor murray's. last person to do a valve lash told me it was 90 across. he did NOT do the lash correctly and his reading was WAY off. surprise.
