The M-20 is stroked a bit, so it could run higher, they say + or - 10%
and with carb butterfly wide open

You can check valve clearance, but I say run it a bit and get a "feel" for it.
Now I'm confused! John Hall did a partial rebuild lately (tittle M-18 running rough/missing) and he report 130psi on cylinder 1 and 120psi on cylinder 2 and this is before he open this engine! Check post number one of this thread:

Now you tell me you got four M-18 in the 90psi and among them one partially rebuild with 50hr on the counter!

G...I think I have a brain fart.....Cricket.....cricket
