Well, I just changed my oil, and it had a very slight milky appearance. Not sure if running alky might change the coloring of the oil slightly?? Anyhow wanting to be safe, I decided to do a compression test for the first time. My results were as follows (after 4 compression strokes):

1 - 155; 3 - 149; 5 - 154

2 - 155; 4 - 155; 6 - 160

I then continued to crank, and by 8, or 9 compressions the results were:

1 - 168; 3 - 161; 5 - 168

2 - 168; 4 - 165; 6 - 170

I'm thinking these results are ok..??

Oh yeah, no oil in coolant, no bubbles in coolant, not losing any coolant, no smell of coolant in exhaust, or white smoke.

opinions welcome!!
