Don't worry, I've still got my eye on it.  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
