Tom- I would be curious to know what readings you get.

After all that hassle when I got it home and did a dry compression test on it it had numbers that were pretty bad like 110, 130, 140, 110, 130 , 120 or something like that. I happened to find the POs business card in the junk car , so I called him, and he told me the engine ran great, but that it had probably been off the road for 5 years. So, I have been tripping over it in my garage now for a year, after filling it with MMO.
Sigh.

No matter. If that engine is properly oil primed before lighting it off, it will most likely run as good as ever after an hour or less.
