    Do you know how to do a rotary compression check? You can find the highest reading of the three faces with a standardly configured compression tester. But in order to check all three faces/seals you need to remove the schrader valve and eyeball it while cranking.

    Oh I don't doubt it, it's only going 105 tops down the back straight and with an hour to go we didn't have 4th anymore.
