My low is that it looks like I will have to pull the engine sometime and get it back to Bruce. The cranking compression is the pits. Figured this out by turning the prop thru by hand on several of the RV rotarys at SnF.

 
Hi Bernie,
 
Congrats on the uneventful testing so far, and also on making it to SNF.  Does that mean you're finally happy with the cockpit noise now?
 
As for your compression, have you actually measured it?  Are you sure you're not using too much, or too little oil in the gas (can't remember if you're pre-mix, or injected). 
 
I hope you get it sorted out without having to resort to pulling the engine. 
 
Cheers,
Rusty (hoping my oil leak is gone on the next flight)
