All cylinders on a good engine should be within 10% of each other. I you find a cylinder low, squirt some oil into that cylinder, and check compression again on that cylinder. If the compression comes up, it is not a burnt valve. Also, check the valve clearance. If a valve is tight, it is probably starting to burn. -- Russ Wolfe '71 Fastback AT '66 Fastback MT (IT RUNS) russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
