Good LORD that car must have been slow, with those compression numbers. I hear what you're saying but based on the performance of this car otherwise (way beyond what I expected, coming from owning OM617s), I think it's a combination of an engine that *is* worn for sure, but also probably a valve adjustment issue. Plus at least one of the injectors has major issues. Give me a week and then I'll tell you all the final outcome (assuming it turns cold again by then... forecast is for an unseasonally mild week ahead). Mac
