I've installed new liners and pistons in my tractor and the compression is low, 150psi. It's even across all four cylinders and will come up to 165 psi if I put oil in the cylinder. There is 8 - 10 pounds pull with a .0015 shim between the piston and sleeve. I have about 1 hour run time at this point. This is the 5th engine I've done and the first time I've had a problem. Should I be thinking about pulling it back down and honing the cylinders a little or just wait to see what happens after a couple hours of run time?
