[QUOTE="Shaugh, post: 449977, member: 19781"] 56 engines take 16:1. You can use 24:1 but for a motor that’s been sitting you should probably start out using 16. As long as you have minimal compression sufficient to get it started you really don’t need to worry about compression yet. Get it going and let it run for a while then check the compression. The running will give the cylinders and rings time to reseat and break up any rust and carbon that might causing sticking rings etc. [/QUOTE]
