Ran a compression on Base S 1998, Cyl 5=120 dry. Did not check wet.
4=110 dry. Did not check wet.
3=100 dry. Wet=98?
2=90 dry. Wet=130
1=135 dry. Did not check wet.

Checked all elbows which were OK. Car had a new PCV replacement kit installed 23,000 miles ago. Will check the Flame trap and hoses early this week. Above Compression numbers are low assuming normal is in the 150 PSI range. This is the reason I didn't run a wet test on all cylinders. Last Thursday drove from St Louis to Evansville IN and returned. Car performed well since I only drove 55 MPH. Little trace of uncombusted gas or oil blowby.
Can I treat the car gently and get some more miles out of her?
Can I just cleanout the flame trap and reuse all the hoses on cleaning the PCV? Thanks guys.
