    Is that a regular clutch switch? Are all XJ clutch switches the same?

    It's not a stupid question at all. Means - Wide Open Throttle.

    Having the throttle plate open allows nearly unrestricted airflow in, so the cylinder can get all the air it needs to compress fully.

    Zero on #2. Really? 8O I'm thinking it might have a blown head gasket as well or a hole in the piston (hopefully not :cry: ) - you should get SOME reading out of a cyl if the valves are close to closing.....

    albear - WOT = wide open throttle.

    Those cylinder walls don't even look that bad; you might have got off lucky. Probably nothing more than rusted/stuck rings.

    Yes 2mm would be about right, it does make you wonder how much effect they have.
