Well, not so good news...

The compressions showed   0 / 0 / 150 /  0

Ouch.  After adjusting I am told that they are now all back up to 150
(which I find really hard to believe).  The mechanic (Robin at
Performance Motors) did say, however, that it can't be adjusted much
more so I think something is going to have to happen soon or else I
won't be continuing on across the country...

The car still seems to be running rough so I'm going to hobble to
Vancouver and see if I can hook up with Octagon/Colin and make a
decision as to whether to go ahead and replace the valves (and head?).
The smog stuff may come off and I may have to leave California when I
get home ;)

I'm looking forward to seeing the Vancouver Vagabonds!
