Started working on the new Beater

Step 1 change plugs and run compression test (forgot to run the test on the MM back at 57K when I did the plugs)

Outstanding readings low of 200 psi high of 212 Ran the first one a few times, needed to run 7 revolutions to get the best results.

All the plugs were the factory originals

Plugs in good shape, the coils all appeared to never have been removed 6 of the boots were stuck to the head but popped out with pliers. Sometimes it's nice to know nobody touched the car much!!

All the gaps were 0.058 - 0.062 not bad for 129K on the same set of plugs only #3 was kinda dirty

Let the mods begin!!

Looks good, what compression test kit do you have and use? I'd be curious to know what my MM is running.

It's a craftsman with a good case and plenty hoses but only use one of em the 14mm
