48365, Compression Test Numbers- UPDATE
Posted by Attrayant, Apr-05-03 09:01 AM
Its been a week since I did the compression test and I just did it again.
Previous Numbers: 210-205-105-215
Current Numbers: 210-210-220-213
So...I'm assuming I did the test wrong the first time in the #3 cylinder. From what I've read, these are pretty good numbers. ANY input, opinions, greatly apprechiated. I am quite close to purchasing HRC Stage 1, maybe 2 depending on taxes. :D Tia!

The numbers are perfect, Im pretty sure that our compression is supposed to be around 220-230 (correct me if Im wrong)...

230's a but high. anywhere from 190-220 is best. the more important thing is that they're all within a few points of each other.

That's great! btw guys... where can I get a compression tested? Can I do it myself? how?
I think I saw something did it before, but not sure if it's about compression thou. do I just unplug the spark plugs and put a gauge in and see?
Any input will be greatly appreciated!
