Hi fellow members,

I've got what I believe is a Continental F227 engine, propane, that's in need of repair and I wanted to run the situation through the forum for suggestions. Lift won't idle too well so did a compression check, here's the results:
(1) = 130
(2) = 125
(3) = 107
(4) = 0
(5) = 120
(6) = 150

#4 plug looks like a new one, but seemed like it was a little wet (moisture). The machine operates well, other wise, no leaks, very good tires, etc. I'm divided on whether to yank the head, or just sell it as is. Reason being I have way too many projects started!
TIA for any input.

Fact of the week
Funerals in Spain typically occur within 24 to 48 hours of death, whereas in other European countries they wait one or more weeks. This rapid timeframe is a cultural norm grown from the past need to manage the warm climate without modern embalming.
