Compression test results

[62 Comet]

from pure boredom i went out and got a compression tester and did a compression test on my 200.

1-164
2-168
3-157
4-169
5-160
6-153

I've yet to do a wet test, so i'll update later

The owner before me said it is a 1971, and when he got it, it was seized and he got it unseized, it does burn oil but its never really visible unless i open er up and run er up past 3500. I did just replace valve seals with teal viton seals from CI but they got ripped apart after 2-3 start ups, so i put on stock fel-pro's and its all good now. Let me know what you think, still runs real good, when cold it likes to "chug" i guess, almost like I got some sort of cam in it, that common?

Thanks, Lee

8) the results look good. i would say that cylinders three and six are the ones that are pumping oil though given that they are somewhat lower than the rest.

The viton seals required the head to be machined, do they not?

Mike sold me the .530 ones which i guess are good for stock without any machining, but they got basically ripped apart and were actually acting as funnels putting oil into the cylinder.

Thanks rbohm, i thought it didnt look too bad, its a city cruiser so i dont burn ANY oil because the rpm's rarely pass 2000, unless i want to listen to my exhaust echo in narrow street with buildings on both sides of course 8) ...

But it does drink the oil when im on the highway running a steady 2500

I'm in process of rebuilding a new bottom end, just saving up some funds to finish it off
