you really do like to do things the hard way don't you? :P

The reason the SR is popular is because it's damn good!

I blame it on the cartoons I saw as a kid, it was that bloody auto cat and motor mouse that had me believing that it was normal to have a v8 in a motorbike and a quad blown v8 to try catch the mouse.

Does the pressure build up if you keep cranking or stay flat?

If the reading increases with cranking it may indicate leak down, where as if it stays flat you might be looking at timing or valve seating. Would be nice to know before ripping the head off.

The most reliable way is compressed air and the two gauges.
