Hmm, Looks like I forgot to snip the trailer on the message I sent to to
the list and Enrique, here it is for the rest of you. See, Enrique
asked "who was the guy that posted the table that adjusts compression
for altitude"? I figured since I live at 5400 feet I might have that
message in my personal archives. I did, and when I found it guess who
the author was? Enrique!
Larry
====================original message I sent:
It was you Enrique.
Hi James and all, I copied the most important part of the compression
table
here it is:
ALTITUDE FT FACTOR
1000 0.9711
2000 0.9428
3000 0.9151
4000 0.8881
5000 0.8617
6000 0.8359
7000 0.8106
8000 0.7860
All you have to do is multiply your compression readings by the factor
according to the altitude you live at. HTH, Enrique
P.S. got the data from Tom Wilsons book How to rebuild your air cooled
engine.
