    Compression question. 97 Johnson 200 sleeved last year

    Had a 97 Johnson 200 sleeved last year as the result of a who knows what problem. Would this cause a lower compression reading than the other cylinders? I am getting about 90psi in each of the 6 except the #2 which is showing 45psi.

    Part question

    1998 200 Ocean Runner: Champion suggests a QL78YC (938) plug for this motor. The closest thing I can find from West Marine is L78YC (936). Other than the obvious "Q" what is the difference between these two plugs?
