Question popped up on the MBCA 115 forum about a 615 engine and leak
down as well as compression. Fellow took his car to mechanic who
gives him compression numbers in the 320-340psi range with and claims
that is low. Also engine does not hold pressure. Is this possible? I
told him the compression numbers are within spec (based on MB manual
data) but I can not figure why the leak down failed. he is burning

Really quite a deal, that. I've seen that very unit auctioned on
eBay for about $70, I bought mine for $18 and used it exactly once
so far, on the Albatross. Worked perfectly well and proved that it
did not have particularly low compression.
