You have had a lot of answers. Will not contradict those offerings. My 2c: Whatever you choose, you will do 8+ hrs a day, 5+ days per week for 40+ years. How easily do you get bored? Think about what I just said and then add what your aspirations are for job satisfaction, net worth, community acceptance, family desires, and anything else you can think of. Does your choice for an occupation fill the bill? If not, change it, NOW; you'll regret it later if you don't. I would not like to relive my life as I don't want to have to face these challenges again. But you are young and have to face them so here is the best advice I can give you. What you put into your future now, you will get back 10-100 fold when you are on the other end...my end, when you can't do things you could do when your age, but you still need to live and all. It'll be tough; but things worth having don't come easy. You're going to pay the price, now or later. Pay it now; you'll love yourself later for accepting the challenge now when you are young enough to do it.

That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
