47 A, I few quick questions.

Posted by mk on April 08, 2001 at 19:34:18 from (216.227.156.57):

I have a 1947 A and I did a compression test a few days ago. I ended up with 60psi across all four cylinders turning the engin over with the hand crank (after the engin was warmed up). The fact that I found 60 across the board maybe me quite happy, but for some reason 60 seems a bit low to me. Am I corect, or is 60 a perfectly good number?

Also I'm getting a little leak from the head near the #1 cylinder. It's not bad at all, but I want to give it a fresh coat of paint, and nothing looks worse then dirt on new paint. So how hard is it to replace the head gasket on these machines?

Thanks,

Matt
