How Much Compression Is Too Much? 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Phil on  Tue Oct 21 13:53 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Over the past year, my brick's compression in each cylinder (1/2/3/4) has slowly increased on 7/27/2002 of 145/145/146/153 psi, on 6/30/03 of 150/157/156/160 psi, and 166/171/172/174 psi today. The differences between cylinders is proportional, so I doubt that my technique is off. Besides, I'm using the same compressor tool with its braided tubing. This increase in compression is counterintuitive, unless I am taking better care of the engine. My flame trap is clean, but I'm a little concerned that an increase in the compression could be a bad thing. Your thoughts?
