Yeh, I didn't think any looked particularly bad - only really 11&12 which looks obviously tight. I remember the last time I checked (5 years ago) they were right on the low end of spec. That's also the cylinder with the lowest compression reading.

I've ordered a few shims, so I can hopefully get them up into the higher end of spec. I'll do them cold this time, so it's not a race against time! Only did them hot, because that JX thread said they have to be checked with the engine "stinking hot".

Starting not really an issue - for an old bus with 228,000, and is a bit lower compression than she really should be, she starts really well.

This was this morning, completely cold engine, 3C outside:
