    I did a compression test on the 02 just going through the list of checks trying to pinpoint whats wrong. I found that cylinders 1, 2, and 3 all had the same compression of 160 psi while cylinder 4 had a compression of 190 psi. Now I don't know if this is normal or not but my guess is it isn't, anyone have any suggestions as to why it's like that? I'm going to try adjusting the valves tomorrow. Thanks.

    Anyone????

    *Update*: I adjusted all the valves to 8 thousandths. The compression on 1 and 2 went up to 170 yet 3 still is at 160. #4 stayed at 190.

    that's a bit over normal tolerance (160 vs 190) but not too bad. Should stuill run fine. My 84 eta lump only had 150 spe'd when new<G>
