Hi BK,

Glad you got out of that garage with your shorts.
Dont forget to readjust the tensioner after 500-600 miles
I'm about to do that here.
If you have low compression, you might benefit from a treatment of Mystery oil in each cylinder and let it soak a day. If it's sticking rings as I had in a Toyota engine that sat around idle for a few months, It might free them up and improve the compression. That toyota was burning oil like crazy until I did a
clutch job on it and gave the mystery oil to each cylinder for the few days the car was laid up. After that It didn't burn much oil at all!
I tried an overnight soak on my B230F after so-so compression readings and it helped some. It would be interesting if others tried this and shared the results.

Regards, Bill
