I didn't bother to do one with the low numbers. I will give it try when I get back out there Sunday.

First, get a good compression gauge. Then, stop skipping steps and do the whole series of tests that have been accepted for a century or more. Jumping to conclusions with inadequate information is a recipie for disaster.
