Just reporting data here: I just had my clattery valves on the OZ 80 adjusted (thanks for the tools Dan!) and had the compression tested after. 165 straight across all 6. This is at 201,000 Kms on the ticker.

I was surprised at the flat number too. Yes the mechanic did it; I assumed rounding. I'll ask him how much.

lol!
It is a different world down here...
I really do sometimes try to throw money at the mechanics, saying things like "while you're in there, do anything else you think needs doing" or "I'd rather pay you $$ today to replace a dodgy looking hose than get stuck on the beach miles from nowhere..." and they still just won't do work that isn't absolutely necessary. Good and bad. In L.A. saying things like that can be an invitation to rob me. On the other hand, I really don't want to break down on the beach in 95 degree heat, praying I'm above the high-tide mark...

No - cold engine. I dropped it off the night before so he could do the valve work without burning his fingers. Don't know if he did the compression check before or after a test drive.

He did remark that, based on some deposits he cleaned out, that it's probably never seen the same oil twice!
