I've been bored out of my tree this last few weeks what with the back problem, so today feeling some what better I decided to have a little play with the Disco. Now I have a list of stuff I want to do to it (new alarm being one  ) and I've never really looked at or meddled with the engine yet. I know that the v8 CAN have compression, overheating, cylinder head & slipped liner problems etc.

So I decided to do a little compression test to see whats what and have a rough guide as to what shape the engine is in.

The following were the results based upon 170psi being a healthy reading for these

Cyl 1 - 162                     2 - 169
     3 - 173                     4 - 172 
     5 - 173                     6 - 170
     7 - 165                     8 - 170

Looking at them  I don't think that its in too bad of a shape really would you agree?

Gonna go for a rest now as I started putting it back together glass-back told me off (Co-Codamol time again  )

Reckon I'd be well chuffed with those figures if it were mine.
