#98964, "Low compression test numbers?"




          

Hey, just did my first compression test on my engine, not sure if I am satisfied with the results... First Cylinder read 185, second was 175, third was 180, fourth was 185. I am aware it is a good thing that they are so close together, but would these numbers be suitable enough to go turbo or not? If not, how could I improve this? Thanks in advance.

I dont see any problem...did you add some oil in the cylinders and try it again. I think ~185 isnt too bad.

Sure.

By rebuilding the short block. You're going to blow up being boosted anyway so you might as well boost it now.

I like that thinking.... Or you can do what I am doing: building the turbo kit and do all the test fitting on my piece of shit engine. In the meantime I am rebuilding a f**k up 420a that i got for 100 bucks using howell performance rebuild parts and then I ll do the swap, break the new engine in and my turbo kit will be all ready to fit !
