Thanks, fully aware of the risks, guys have 30 years combined experiences and know what they are doing.

Was told its not unusual for compression reading differences as it can be due to a number of factors. Perhaps back in 2010 it had old or not so good oil whereas I recently had it changed twice in a space of 300 miles using the best mineral oil, plus adding a better air intake perhaps also contributed. I am not an expert in the whys here, perhaps someone who works on rotarys can contribute to the possibilities here? i do know the car was also stored a year before it came back to the uk and the owner then rarely used it plus was driven gently (slowly). Perhaps the engine rebuild around 9000 miles ago is also contributary, so perhaps it is only starting to run in and being run hard a few times over the last week has also helped.
