    seems awfully low, but compression gauges are notoriously inconsistant from one to another

      seems right for static compression if your hand cranking the motor

          Yeah, I hand cranked it. This was also dry, I didn't put any oil in the cylinders to see if it changed. I just thought they were high enough I didn't need to bother.

          BTW, does anyone know where to find the replacement o-ring for the oil cap?

            there is no o-ring, thats why they always leak.

            thats why i have an aluminum one on there from ebay

                    [QUOTE=91SuperProtLX;527966]Did an oil change today, 10w40 QS HM, with a Fram 3593HM.

                    Fram filters are friggen junk, Purolator or Valvolene filters are the ones to use.

                          Those still look like shart. What you need to do is get some 1500 wet sand paper rub it out (not penis) and polish with a buffer and compound.
