Hello Mo, head is off so no checking compression. I could turn the engine over by hand to check that valves move.
John, I did change packing and grease packing box at grease nipple, there has been no drip and when I first moved to mooring the packing box was warm. The trip to mooring field is 5 minutes. It was suggested that I back off packing nut until it leaks and slowly tighten. I may have the packing in so tight it will not leak in which case should I remove and repack.
Thanks,
Joe
