Sorry, since my Mac is dead for now I couldn't go back and find the thread for Sophy's compression issues so I started a new one for the outcome and stuff. Reminder...oil bath air cleaner was over-filling with oil during long high speed runs (kind of like we will have on the run to the Invasion next week). #1 Cylinder had low compression (90 psi vs. 120 or so for the other three). I pulled the engine and the head and checked everything out with out founding anything really obvious. I lapped the valves and hone the cylinder and put it all back together again. Good news.....initial compresison check should just over 100psi. I will check it again after putting a few miles on her and resetting the valves. Should be good to go to Oregon. I do have a few little things to do...like add a 12V powerpoint for my phone charger and stuff. Leaving for Russ's one week from today!!!! Can't wait. See you all soon.
