I would have been happier at a 19 but whatever---47K engine---no pre mix for this test. I think i will load her up with premix and then take another reading this w/e.
At 16-17 i think i would probably pass the compression test.

I have replaced the MOP O ring twice,but in my case the oil leaked down onto the oil pan(and the floor of course)--making it seem as if the oil pan was leaking.

I installed my MOP without the o ring once. That didn't work out so well for me.
