Thanks boys for the replies. Interesting Charlie, QC? what QC? Oh boy, thankfully things have improved over the years.

Jseery, cool idea for finding TDC. I will try it tomorrow when I get a moment. It will be interesting to see how far off the pulley mark is.

Happy the engine is running so well. Oh, and the compression seems normal again at ~100psi. Seems one of my gauges was out of calibration and the other had a faulty Schrader valve.

Cheers
