44738, Compression Test Results. What ya think?
Posted by 1FastEclipse, Feb-18-03 05:46 PM
I did the compression test and came up with 180 180 190 180. Are those good or bad numbers in your opinion? Safe to continue my N20? Thanks guys.

yep thats as high as my engine was when I got it haha. its supposedly suppose to be 215 I've compression tested two 2GNT that hit 215 in all cylinders. this means your engine is starting to wear out but it's still within spec. haha just be thankful your shiz ain't like mine

150 30 130 150

i was told that altitude will effect your compression #'s too. i'm at about 1mile above sea level and have 180 on all 4 cyl.
