Suck, squeeze, bang, blow

Sylvia is still at the mechanics getting her physical checkup, new belts, filters, tuning, etc. As part of her checkup, the shop tested cylinder compression and performed a leakdown test.

The results indicate that the compression is good to excellent and even on all cylinders.

#1 – 146
#2 – 149
#3 – 149
#4 – 148
#5 – 149
#6 – 147
#7 – 146
#8 – 149

No loss on the leakdown test.

The vacuum system is sound and leak free.

The ignition system/service items (distributor cap, leads etc) are all fine and all cylinders are firing.

Next week the carburetors and fuel system will be checked, hopefully that will prove to be as solid as the rest of the engine.
