What happens when the compression drops?? What can I do to get the compression back up?? Is a compression drop a really big deal if just using the car as a play ride.....I'm not into racing, I just don't like the idea of having to put a new engine in my car every few months or so....I tend to take mine out a lot, but I do my best to take care of it.....I run it rich on the low end, but not so rich on the high end, but I don't run it full throttle very often! I guess I was just kind of curious as to how much maintenance these engines really need and how long they will give me a good time!
