bent valves?



M kay so I went downtown to get a compression tester...
Car is bone cold (below freezing out) here goes....

Dry Test as per bentley:

#1 122
#2 117
#3 122
#4 122

Wet test as per bentley

#1 142
#2 142
#3 142
#4 146

Looks okay to me!!! one would expect lower values on dry test with cold
engine, yes?

bentley specs:

new: 145-189psi
wear limit :109 psi
max delta: 44psi

going to check timing again....
