What are the values for compression on a distillate model 300? Mine checked out at 95# on all cylinders. No smoke and no oil consumption. But seems low to me? It runs like a sewing machine and has great power so im not worried but just would like to know. Cant seem to find that info anywhere.
 
That is right on in terms of expectations. Distillate had much lower ability to prevent knocking. When you rebuild it in the future, high altitde pistons and a little bigger bore can make a 6 to10HP change in performance. Id you change the head to a gaoline head, and modest piston dome, it will improve even more. Were it mine I would just enjoy it as it is until it needed rebuilt. Jim
 
Ok good. I am happy with it the way it is . Maybe down the road if it needs an overhaul i will do the mods then. Thanks.
