Re: Chasing Rough idle...compression?

High compression engines like the V8 are prone to that, as the spark has more difficulty jumping the spark plug gap due to the compression pressure and it may take, as tehy say, the path of least resistance.

I would have said that but my comments were limited to relatively low compression straight 8 engines as this forum is for post war straight engines.

Thank you for mentioning it and pointing out my omission.
