Re: I got the no/low compression blues
I had a customer when I lived in Boulder Creek who owned my moms old Honda 600 sedan. Jenny didn't understand redline meant slow down. I had to change her crankshaft at least 3 times while she had it.

Re: I got the no/low compression blues
It is because it's underneath the jugs and pulling the top end is such a PITA. Not an issue here as the chain stretch test passed.

Re: I got the no/low compression blues
Air or water cooled? I don't know those cars. Variation like that seems very strange - how could it be so extremely variable - 0 to 25? Are you spinning eng. with starter & watching each cyl pump

Re: I got the no/low compression blues
Ken, a sticky valve may explain the symptoms.
David, I've ordered a leak down tester on Amazon, also $25. Valves do move.
