I can't say what the cranking speed was, other than it seemed pretty slow. The mechanic installed a rebuilt starter, which cranks faster, but he didn't do the compression test again. Although cranking speed is improved now, it still seems reluctant to start when hot. Tapping the gas pedal when cranking seems to help it ignite. What makes you say it looks like a side seal problem?

Well, my SeaFoam decarb task is on hold now, for a week or so. I discovered a leaky coolant hose which has to be replaced before I can run the engine before/after the treatment.
