do you have a wal-mart guage or a snap-on guage?

I think it was Sanford that was having the exact same issue with that head and dome size.

 

[Sanford]

I went through this headache with 4 different gauges (one of them being a Snap-On) the ended up buying a real gauge ($4,872.95).

I have about 185/187psi on +.075" bore with 37cc dummies.

Just run it! :sneaky:

you really spent 5 g's on a compression gauge, think how many motors you could have gone through even if you did F something up and blow a piston or something. I guess unless ya use it for your job or something like that?

Compression gauges are hit/miss. I bought one at a Western Auto Parts store in Charleston, SC back in '91 I think, for like $12, and it still works, very consistent and reads what it should.

However, I also realize that cranking compression is just a guideline for that engine, spinning that fast, with those conditions. It is not an indication of performance really.
