Compression test results; not too shabby for 124k!

I'm used to the old American iron with 125 - 150 psi compression. I was kind of impressed with this. Looks like there might be a bit of wear in #1, but numbers that high are good enough for me for now. Once I get this Metro fully sorted out, maybe I'll start working up my spare engine, but this should be all I need for now.

For my next magic trick, I've been threatening my chassis engineering students that I'm going to put it on the Mustang chassis dyno in the lab and show them just how much power they really need! One of my students is working on his 2013 Mustang GT500. He started at 550 HP at the rear wheel and was up somewhere north of 755 last week on the dyno. And which car is the cop going to be more aware of when it goes a smidgen too fast? He might be able to pass me and everyone else on the road, but I can pass the gas station he's stopped at!! :rofl :rofl
