[QUOTE="macawman, post: 450274, member: 23375"] Checked compression again with a second gauge known to be accurate. Unfortunately, it simply confirmed the readings of the first gauge, do there is definitely a compression issue. Not surprising, I guess, for a 62 year old motor. At any rate, I'm not going to mess with it any longer. I ordered the gasket sets, rings, valve leafs, leaf stops and a new impeller today for a power head rebuild. Will evaluate pistons, rods and associated bushing/bearings once I get the pistons out. I have not located a source for new connecting rod needle bearings so I'm a bit concerned about that. [/QUOTE]
