Compression query

I have a 948 Austin engine sat here
factory recon unit (8G9 R L 29932)
Does the L indicate low compression?
And no, I do not want to take the head off!
It has a beautiful oil bath air cleaner too! No more new air filters for me.

I'm takin' a guess here...
8G9 is 948
R is recon
L is Low Compression
Go ahead shoot me down

my thoughts exactly, but I do hope that I am wrong.
That said, it is a small wonder that I keep picking up low compression Austin engines

is your old one completly dead or can you use it as a base?
either that or are you in training for a new `engine change` in the olympics

The old one's pretty dead - most of it's been stripped and various bits reused

so it is the olympics then
of course we know you are part of the team
so we now need a silly outfit and loads of support and sponsership
seriously though hope you get a good unit next.

I'm building one myself at the mo - hope that that one's a goodie, I've changed SOOOOOOOOO many engines in the last 6 months...
