Sam,
PDG, if it's nominally a 7.75:1 motor...
I presume that the tappets have got plenty of 'tappyness'? ;)

100 Psi was cold with the throttle closed, so perhaps there is hope yet. As an aside, I am running with 6Volt wipers with a 6v headlamp bulb in series - they seem to be OK, so I'm off for a run in the rain - hope they don't burn out on the way.


yes test it warm wide open throttle and the plug out of the other cylinder and see what you get

(dont know what relevance the 6v wipers are to the compression ratio of an engine but its all good info :lol: )
