GP minimum recommended octane is 92 for the 2180 VW.
Does not matter which, autogas or 100LL, as long as you use 92 octane or
higher. Then there is the lead deposit issue with 100LL and the Ethanol
issue with the autogas.

You will get 100 different answers if you ask 100 people here. Best to
call GPAS and ask Steve and he can tell you for each engine size what he
would recommend for whatever minimum octane you plan to use.

No, but that does not necessarily mean that the engine is bad. May be as
simple as a valve adjustment.

I checked my compression yesterday, just for checkup purposes. First I did the
usual automotive type test, and most are right around 170 psi, with one
exception...191psi on number 5. I guess there's a buildup in there of some
kind. My engine has a 9.4:1 compression ratio. I then I d
What should the compression readings be on an 1835 VW engine? I'm getting
110psi per cyl. using an auto gauge.

Mark,
Have you ever heard of IrfanView? www.irfanview.com and it is free. It
is what I use to make all my thumbnails and size all my pics. It is easy to
use, does batch rename and compression.

Mark,
I also have PhotoShop but find IrfanView much easier to use for the purpose
stated.
All you have to do is, open your folder with the pics in it, drag one of the
pics onto your IrfanView icon on your desktop, click on File, Batch
Conversion/rename. From there it is a piece of cake.
