Default Re: Compression

It'll probably start and run OK with those numbers. Before I changed the engine in my '51, it was between 85 and 100 on all eight and it was OK to drive daily. You may be OK (for a while) if they're all about the same. Hopefully, a couple dosed of Marvel Mystery Oil and some driving will cause the situation to improve. Maybe a couple of shots of Sea Foam down the carb, as well.

Don't expect any "seat of the pants" thrills, though.
