Jonathan, You can do math to calculate whether this engine needs attention or
not, but if an engine with this small of an individual cylinder displacement
came into my shop, there would be no question in my mind that it would get some
attention before leaving. It is possible that it *could* be

Total Seal rings, and the valve job is thoroughly discussed at

OK 3 questions:
3. What kind of valve
Whuuups. Bad math. I knew that didn't look right. 58 is 72.5% of 80, so
it's a 27.5% drop. Quick and dirty would tell you that 60 is 25% down, so I
shouldn't have even needed a calculator to figure that one out and get
closer than I did.
Still not stellar. I'd dicker over the condition of

These numbers are the result of a differential compression test, with 80
being perfect, 0 being "dead hole". The rule of thumb is if there's
