PS I did not know that breaking in is a thing when rehoning and replacing pistons, thanks a lot for the hint. Do you have a rough idea of what to expect from a compression test now, and of how long it should take for figures to improve? I was planning another compression test this weekend with a better set than the chinese one I used so far.
