Compression

Checked the compression on the engine

Note: We had 2 gauges ... we used the one with the lower readings.

Cylinder

1- 85lb
3- 60lb
5- 55lb
7- 84lb

2- 79lb



4- 79lb



6- 80lb



8- 85lb



The even side is the side I have been having trouble with oil in the exhaust and has the better readings! Still searching for the right replacement.

  3. OK. 2 and 4 look really oily. I would guess the problem is in those cylinders. Will try again today to contact the guy about the Flathead and location of shifter.
