[QUOTE="Fefanatic, post: 91274, member: 12973"] If the cylinder compression is within 10% of each other you should be good to go. I've seen engines run on a lot less than 110 psi. If all cylinders are like you said I doubt it would be a stuck valve. Did you do the compression test while engine is hot? If not you should re-check again on a hot motor. As another poster said you can and should run a cylinder leak down test. That will be the most accurate test to determine valve and ring condition. FWIW, 175 psi on todays gas won't be good for your motor so I wouldn't get concerned about it. Check your oil for gas contamination. If you have that much gas spitting out the carb then your oil should be contaminated. If the distributor is tight the timing shouldn't change unless you have a major mechanical failure such as the timing chain. My advice is to rebuild the carburetor and do a tune up on the engine. It should cure your problems. [/QUOTE]
