#24073, "Are these compression numbers good/safe?"


          

Had it done today at 110,210 miles. Shes a 95. Here they are;
cylinder1-105
cylinder2-95
cylinder3-110
cylinder4-110

Are these safe enough to add a 50hp shot of "the juice" and a few other bolt ons(header, cat, ignition, tb, udp, cam gears) Just want to be sure before I continue. The NOS is definately next if these numbers are ok. Thanks..jd

those numbers are pretty low. might wanna think about a rebuild kit before the nos. you did the test when the car was at operating temp right?

good numbers would range from 170-210 i believe.

Yes do the test hot.

Also, see if its your rings....put a little dab of oil in each well when you do the test on each piston...and see if your numbers go up. If they do, it might be your rings.

Yup, way way too low to even think about nitrous the motor wouldn't last on the juice.

Yo Kaptain Mike do you know of any places here in Houston that have fairly good prices on engine rebuilds.

I had a massive oil leak and I think I did serious damage to my block and heads.


I've been hearing like $1,500 to $2,000. What do you think.

Satan admitted they only warmed her up for 5 minutes before testing, they said they would test her "hot" tomorrow for free. Should I expect a difference?

Say Mike, I'm on the southside of Houston, near the Astrodome by 288 South.

Who else is in the Houston area, I need some help on my rebuild.
