That's what I was looking for.......Compression ratio that high most
certainly requires high test.
Thanks, Mike

Mike
As long as the compression amongst all the cylinders is within a couple of
percent you should be fine. If you see one cylinder that is significantly
different redo the test and proceed with furthur diagnosis. Also you may
want to do a wet and dry test.
Also consider doing a leak down test instead of a compression test, it
will
tell you more about the condition of the engine and what is wrong.

What is the compression ratio on the engine in a 300SL? I know NOTHING
about MBZ gassers.
