Tom- I would be curious to know what readings you get. I bought one of these M110s when Upullit had a 50% off sale, just because I like these engines and I have a lot of cars I could put it in (if and ) when I retire. 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.

What readings did you expect? That does not sound all that bad to me. US spec engine?
