1961 BT7 compression test.
I did a test with the engine warm and with oil.
Starting with cylinder 1: 158 158 158 163 163 158
Then I put oil in three of the cylinders: #3-170 #4-178 #5-184.
All pressures corrected from 5500 feet altitude to SL.
I probably used a bit more oil as I went from cylinder 3 to 6.
Are these good numbers? I guess I don't need to rebuild the head.
