- Finally got around to checking compression on the TR3A. Here's how it fared: Love to know how this compares with other TRs. High? Low? Average? Any concerns with the 10 psi difference? I have 87mm pi

- Where you are when you do the compression test makes a difference. I live near Denver (5280') and usually get between 125-140lb on my cars. If you are near sea level, you will get different results.
