Well, Barry started the M37 yesterday. The exhaust isn't on
bolted on yet, so when it runs, it sounds like an old
airplane..kinda neat, not even loud enought to bug the
neighbors. The final compression readings after adjusting
the valves are as follows:
1) 100
2) 105
3) 105
4) 110
5) 95
6) 112

We are happy; the engine sounds healthy, no knocking sounds.
Now, Barry is working on the transmission shifter tower, as
the lever felt very sloppy. After that is a brake system
rebuild, install driveshafts, new tires, insurance, license,
and go!
Thanks for all the help you guys have been. We hope to meet
you at events in the future.
Lisa
