Re: Midget's Compression "too" high?

Hi greetings from EUrope
Of course is the compression reading higher if the engine is cold. The 
oil is stiffer and gives a better seal on the cylinder walls. 
A slightly higher compression is often quite normal, as there is a lot of 
coal built up in the cylinder head and thus reducing the volume  and 
increasing the compression ratio. This could be the reason as Your car 
isn't running veryl well, as You wrote.
