[8v,JH] high cylinder compression

[Oliver Seiler <oseiler@acm.org>]

Hi all,

I checked my engine's (8V,JH) compression today and it was pretty
positive. The first three cylinders hit about 165 PSI, but the fourth one
got to 180 PSI and would have gone higher had I let it. Bentley talks
about why one might get low compression, but what about high compression?
Is this bad? It's supposed to be between 131 and 174 PSI according to the
manual; what could cause the high compression?

Thanks,
Oliver
