Yes, I'm a little jumpy, to much caffeine. Sorry kick, thought you were directing that at me...

Everything I've read (or experienced) has said that, at that kind of mileage, unless the compression drop is at least 10% of the overall compression spec, then it could be considered normal wear and tear for a worn engine. Now what the definition of a "worn engine" is these days I don't know, 100K isn't excessive, but it's still pretty significant.

Red, please go back to the Supra forums and stop making trouble here amongst us lowly Volvo owners. You'd think you would have something better to do than harass us drivers of slow (relatively, some of the turbo bricks can move OK) sedans and wagons.
