With reference to Chris' response elsewhere on the Forum, I thought I'd give this a go for myself, having noted a slight change in engine tone under acceleration.white exec wrote: ↑16 Oct 2018, 16:01 ....when the engine is warm, try cranking it, but not allowing it to fire up (eg by disconnecting the 12v feed to the Engine Stop solenoid). If compression is down on one cylinder, you'll hear the cranking accelerate every fourth compression.
I was a bit surprised how fast it cranks, warm. Do others think this is excessively fast, suggesting poor compression on all four pots? Mileage is high but we all know these XUD's are superb lumps, its na.
I do have spare engines, but I'm in no rush to fit them.
