I ran a static compression test today, and I was a bit surprised by the results.

The left hand number is the dry reading, right hand number is the wet reading:
[list=1][*]180 204[*]178 215[*]176 190[*]175 195[*]175 183[*]169 182[*]157 172[*]170 186[/list=1]

So I am thinking maybe the intake gasket is causing the coolant in the #1 chamber? That chamber held the highest pressure, but when I removed the compression gauge, the connector had about a half ounce of coolant in it.

What do you guys think?
