Hi Joaquin,

(a)- B18A with skimmed head (supposedly to B18B spec), D cam, 140,740 miles
(b)- 1967 - car first registered in January of that year
(c)- #1 158 psi, #2 162 psi, #3 160 psi, #4 160 psi (dry)

I would have expected #2 and #3 to have slightly lower values than #1 and #4 as I've read that the 'inner' cylinders are more prone to wear because they tend to run slightly hotter...
