[DML] Re: Volvo B27E engine ads (wasHouston/Wolf)

["therealdmcvegas" <dmcvegas@xxxxxxx>]

I was reading your post to the DML, and something that you wrote 
peaked my curiousity. Specificly about the PSI readings. Last year I 
took my motor in for tuning (after it wouldn't pass smog), and had a 
pressure test run on the car. The results were positive, but all came 
back between 162 & 167 PSI across all cylinders. Is this a sign that 
this may be one of those aftermarket, higher-compression PRV motors 
that KAPAC was selling? And if so, are there any casting #'s on the 
side that I can check to verify?

Thanks in advance!
