backfire aftermath

[vwscir88@hotmail.com (The Hitman)]

hey breandan,
  i'm getting some wierd results from the compression check. the results 
were 212(?!?), 180, 180, 120. from my experience the 180's in 2&3 are 
normal. the 120 in number 4 is low and pssibly my problem, but where the 
hell did the 212 in number 1 come from???



So Sayeth The Hitman
'88 "stripe" 16v scirocco
'91 passat gl "the green hell"
