I have checked the compression and the readings are 185psi on the front
cylinder and 186 psi on the rear cylinder. I have had new hardened valve
seats fittedand stainless steel valves. The cylinders have been rebored and new pistons fitted, the bore is now on 86.6mm with forged pistons.

Fuel octane rating
