HI All, Just a couple of strange things the temp gauge on my 1970 morris oxford is showing 1/2 when i first switch on before the engine is started it then raises to hot as the car warms up but the cars not overheating i replaced the sencer for the gauge a few years ago has any one ever had a prob like this before?? i must admit i have not used the car for three week till today. My other querry is compression test i have a gunson compression tset gauge and i have tseted both my oxford and cambridge with it, the instrutions give an outline of what is a healthy engine like weather there is a large gap between cylinders tested but does anyone know what is classed as a good engine reading for the b series engine i have looked though my manuals i have and cant find anything my reads done by cranking the engine over on the starter a few times each cylinder are as follows Oxford 1 2 3 4 120psi 110 psi 115psi 115psi
Cambridge 138psi 128psi 132psi 128psi or should i just be ready for the Oxfords engine to go bang before the Cambridge. Thank you George P.S Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to everyone
