[T3] Compression check then BIG bang

["aedan mcghie/scotland" <vkg465j@surak.freeserve.co.uk>]

Subject line says it all.

I was checking the compression on my fastback. When I took out the
compression meter and started it up again there was a HUGE BANG.

I ran back and had a look. Nothing looked wrong. I started it up again and
went round the block. Works fine.

I think it might have been a big backfire of some kind. Would that make
sense?

The reason I thought I would check the compression was because the plug in
the breather box pops out all the time. It even does this when the engine
isn't running because there is a big spring in the base of it. I pulled out
the big spring and the plug stayed put. Do I need that big spring in there?
What does it do?

Our enemies will talk themselves to death, and we will bury them in their
own confusion.

We shall prevail
