I'm going to check compression again in a few days. I hope I don't have a valve seat that is slowly receding into the head. At least the fact that I have 105 psi cold compression indicates that I probably don't have a burned valve :-) I won't know for sure that the overheating is corrected until I get another hot day. It's been kinda cool around here lately. Thanks Sean Bartnik Johnson City, Tennessee '81 Vanagon L Westfalia |
