Dear SOLers, I know this should be in a FAQ list, but maybe somebody has a bit of Midget-experience he or she would like to share. I checked the compression on my Midget the other day. Due to a poor

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 qu

Ooh. I dunno about this. It's the norm to take compression readings when HOT because then the rings expand to take up space...thus you get better compression from a hot engine (ebrything fits proper

Gus, You need to remove the drive belt from the supercharger BEFORE taking compression readings. Greg

No, there's only the turbo which I didn't bother to take off since there are no fast exhaust gases yet while cranking. Are you jealous that the compression is a weird bit (too) high? Do you think th

Augustin, When performing a compression test to check an engine's condition, it is not the actual numbers you get but how they relate to one another and how you get them. For an engine in good condi

Gus, it sounds like you have a carbon build up in the combustion chambers raising the effective compression ratio. Usually warm engines have a higher compression reading than cold ones due to a bette
