I bet you're right. Fluid doesn't compress very well. Other people with ZE's in good shape have pulled numbers in the 200's-210's, from what I've seen. He guessed there were about 60k miles on it, said it was super clean inside and out when he got it. Apparently the manual tensioner is because the hydraulic one couldn't keep up with the new Interprep valve springs because they're so much stiffer than stock. I feel better about things now that I talked to him again last night.

Iirc, I pulled between 170's-180's on my current FS, burning oil and all. I was surprised, I thought one cylinder would be way lower, but they were all acceptably similar.

Gases compress. Liquids don't. They're both fluids. :)
 
Ugh.. I have a bit of spring cleaning to do to the car. Let's just say that:

Summer tires + hard cornering + sharp home made seat brackets + emergency can of Monster under the seat = ...well, I think you can see where this is going....
 
Picked up a motor and a few other goodies today.

Front valve cover..the tube in the picture is the one that runs along the front of the front valve cover, and back to the IM.
