I have wondered what my engine compression would be. I have 12660 miles on an AER engine since installation. Have Snyder 6:1 head and B carb with expanded A intake manifold. oversized intake valves. Not the complete touring engine. Results: #1-90psi #2-91psi #3-95psi #4-95psi. Perhaps I should have reread # 1 and #2, but I did not. Sure runs smooth and used 1 cup of oil at my last 1500 mile oil change. Have full flow filter.

No big deal, I know, but I was so happily surprised that I just had to tell someone. I was expecting maybe about 75 # per cylinder .

Vacuum gaged at 20# and quite steady. at idle and about 1800 rpm
