I'm surprised they're so good considering how fast 4 gallons of mystery oil ran into the pan. I've been driving my first M37 for years now with about 90 psi in all cylinders. When it got it it had no air cleaner, which probably explains the low compression.
Have never gotten around to doing a ring job because I know once I open it up the project will grow. Starts and runs okay even in the winter. Not a lot of power, not very good mileage, and backfires a lot on the downgrades, but it still gets the job done. Hopefully it's not getting ready to throw a rod like my other beater M37 did.
