What is a healthy number (compression) for a 1275 engine?  I'm
GUESSING it might be calculated (assuming compression ratio of 8, 14
psi for 1 atm)

ideal = (8*14)-14 = 98 psi

(please comment if you know better than I do...)

After testing my motor, I only had 80-85 psi.  Is that reasonable?

Thanks, 
Justin
