you were right. My wc has between 25 and 50 pounds of compression. I'm amazed it runs at all. lol... Guess I'll add that to the list of things to do in the spring.

 I have a 460 in a pickup that had 2 cyls at about 80 lbs and 6 cyls at 40 to 65 lbs and we used it all winter to fetch firewood. It was necessary to park near the plug so the charger could assist in getting it to roll over fast enough to start when cold. It was amazing what a set of rings did for it!

Glockhead SWMI, I ran a MF that had numbers like that and it ran pretty good.
The only problem was alot of gasoline was getting into the motor oil.

It sure is! Runs good but starts hard. Not sure what I'll do yet. Might tear it down and see how the cylinders look. A cheap rebuild would be nice.
