I agree, the compression seemed high to me. I expected 130 to 135 especially with 150,000 miles on the engine. Who knows, my gauge could need calibration. I think the more important thing is that the measurements are all within 3.5 percent of each other on a hot engine.

Both auxiliary fans are working. Actually, I couldn't resist temptation and drove the car in to work today, a 45 minute commute. Had it up to 80 mph on the tollway, no problems at all. Watched the temp gauge more than the road, I think. It never went above 105, got as low as 85 on the tollway. Idles smooth as silk at the stop lights. I really am puzzled. ???
