Uh...  I ran '62 102 heads on an 80hp engine for many years and the 
only difference I actually saw was NOT a drop in compression but the 
engine did kinda ask for premium fuel or it pinged on hot days.   It 
ran just fine, good power.

'62 102 heads are for all intents and purposes about the same as 102 
heads from what I can tell, by looking.   Besides, anything has to 
have better compression than those dishpan 80hp heads.
