So I just had a compression test done by my mechanic while it was their for a carb rebuild. (should have tried myself, but I just don't have any time right now - and he is good)...
1: 85
2: 95
3: 90
4: 90
5: 90
6: 100
7: 95
8: 90
I was hoping for a lot better, but now an curious what you all think about the life expectancy of this engine. The rig doesn't go true offroading, and I am fairly easy on it. So I am I looking at rebuild soon just based on these numbers?
Other data:
1. some valve noise at start until warmed, but not bad.
2. pvc can't keep up with blowby, but it doesn't condense too much in the air cleaner.
3. burns no oil. no material loss between changes. (every 3K)
I will start searching the archives for options on the rebuild and mods, but if anyone knows a really good AMC engine guy in Portland OR. I'd like to know. Thanks.
