I was going to say that most Rx7 people are below spec, there is just how bad below they are.
I know of a few people that have drove around on a 60-70 psi motor, sometimes hard to start but still runs.

What kind of issues did you have with tightening the sensor into the sparkplug hole? With the rubber o-ring in place it should only need to be hand tightened to get a good seal. Did it feel as thought the threads were binding up?
So who's going to SevenStockXII? I'll be there and I'm donating a compression tester to the raffle! Hope to meet some of you there.

Oh, ok. Well that makes sense. You're not the only person to have an issue with tightening the sensor though. I know the heat-shrink tubing isn't the best solution, but it's the easiest and best looking option. I love getting feedback from my customers, good or bad, it all helps.
