Hey everyone, dunniteowl here again and I have gotten the "A" model I have straightened out as far as the cylinder head and torqueing goes. I am getting spark, fuel, air and compression, though I wonder if my compression levels are high enough to combust. So, does anyone have the specs or the skinny on what the nominal compression values ought to be? Currently, Bettty's compression values are as follows: Cyl 1: 72 pounds Cyl 2: 60 pounds Cyl 3: 61 pounds Cyl 4: 71 pounds do these numbers sound about right to anyone or no-one at all? I have a maintenance manual (bought online through your suggestions) and it doesn't have any compression specs in it that I could find. Thanks all for any information and assistance you can provide... dunniteowl
