how much compression

Post by deacon bruce »

Been reviewing the posts here about compression. Did I read that it is unimportant that as long as the Gull runs, it' OK and not worth worrying about? Within reason of course? Cad someone enlighten me please?

Crankcase compression or combustion chamber compression?
What engine are you running?
40-century-102?
All will vary a bit. Some better than others. Some will start easier as a result from better compression, then again some won't.

Compression DOES matter.

All questions should include the full engine number then we will know wether your talking Morris 8 or Aston Martin Vantage.
Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot.
