I misstated my compression numbers. I had a hopeful memory. I looked up my notes. Cyls 1-5.

320,350,300,285,290 (post valve adjustment of course).

It seemed a little on the low side but the car still runs great.

My oil cap wobbles a lot if I loosen it up suggesting I have a moderate amount of blowby.

I get it though, I'm being a big baby and need to just drive the car and enjoy it. It doesn't smoke and it starts easily after glowing.

Also due to my broken (slipping odometer was 20% off) I may have more than 200k.

I think it's time to drive out and have a nice day behind the wheel.
