Sometimes those four strokes will play "compression games" with their owner....I think
they do it on purpose too, just for the heck of it. Sometimes the compression feels
great, and we smile....other times the compression feels weak, and we frown. The
engines get a kick out of playing with our emotions....they know we paid way too much
of our hard earned dollars for them, and will go way out of our way to provide for their
care and feeding.

They watch as we frown at the gas pump....paying three dollars to three fifty for a gallon
of gas....then gladly fork out fifteen bucks or more for a gallon their "special" fuel. They
love being pampered.

As long as the compression isn't leaking to much from the valves or rings, just give it a good
run....and it will probably make you smile again....

FBD.
