    AK Barn Find - Compression testing - Video

    Happy to report the compression on all cylinders is 155-160 psi. Not bad after 20+ years of sitting and a couple hours of engine run time.

    Warming the engine for the compression test. New 491s being installed on the wheels today:

    First off, that things sounds SWEAT!!! very very nice. Secondly raise that idle up about 1000-1100. These engines were not designed to idle that low.
    Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

    When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

          That's sweet sounding. My xs11 never sounded that smooth.
