I have low HP goals. Around 220 at the wheels.



The warm engine compression test showed 200psi on all four cylinders after 4 cranks. It seems to be a very healthy engine. It has ~90k miles on it.
It seems to be pretty high compression for a used motor. As for the valves those do not need to be replaced, they're typically reused. What I've done is remove them and soak them in a special detergent to remove the carbon deposits and then reassemble. That's the best 'free' option.
