<VV> No compression in #3

[J R Read]

I don't think that a valve seat has been out of place by much (if any at 
all).  I do not see a "smiley face" on the top of the piston from contact 
with the edge of a valve.

In the last 2 pictures - as oriented - at the top of the piston, is that a 
crack?  Or, something else?

What type of gauge gave the zero measurement?  Screw in or cone shaped 
rubber style?  If screw in, the plug hole threads have no issues?

Later, JR
