(Compression test) Re: Pinging or stuttering, best of two evils

[deadbolt@mindspring.com (S. Coleman)]

I think someone is confused here.  Yes you can measure ,... but the head
would have to come off.  Doing a compression test will only till you if the
combustion chamber is sealing or not.......NOT the compression ratio.   (At
least I don't know how the hell that would work)  Give us the specs on this
motor again..  Cams?, stroked, what?
