It all started here you have to read a few posts to see how it progressed. RAA East 2020 West Virginia

My recollection is that someone suggested he paint his motor pink, like a Barbie doll.
I then started to refer to him in posts as "Barbie".
The member formally known as Kevin, is paradoxically and ironically a polar oppisite of BARBIE. Barbie is beautiful yet stupid . . .

My question is how will the compression test work if both spark plugs are removed as Speedy said to do ? I'm lost on this.

Remove all so engine turns faster, insert 1 spark plug into cylinder to be tested and the gauge in the other side of same cylinder, 2 pages back Gerald answered this, fast moving thread.

Go ahead and say it don’t end it there, ‘ And Kevin is handsome and smart.‘

Compression test done, cyl.1 250, cyl.2 255,and cyl.3 260. I did this 3 times 1,2,3 1,2,3 1,23, the cyl 1 did 252 255 250 cyl 2 did 255 255 255 same just about needle is not digital and cyl 3 260 258 260. New plugs being fitted and off to dyno soon. This part is an edit, compression tester test 15% high on readings when bench tested, Probably will never know accurately without a proper tester but for me, it seems I didn’t pooch the bedding in process.

Congratulations, very consistent. What plugs are you using, and heat range?
