Hi,my 1098 66 traveller is showing 190psi across all 4 cylinders.
Has not been skimmed or have a lot of carbon build up.
It is an export model.
It doesnt pink under load either.
Any ideas please.

Re: High compression
Orinoko,
Where are you? If anywhere near Oxford we could compare the readings with my compression gauge - if the same OK, if not maybe the gauge?

Re: High compression
Thanks for your kind suggestions.
Have tried a professional gauge (snap on) this morning and got 185psi across all 4
It starts and runs fine with no sign of pinking.
Maybe i should just leave alone.

Re: High compression
Indeed - but it is incredibly high - the head must have been heartily skimmed and/or flat top pistons fitted !
