[T3] Sophy's Engine Woes

[jaransont3@comcast.net]

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.
John
