All depending on the gauge used Posted by SWEDECAR [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: 175-185 psi too high for B202T?, DirkP, Mon, 18 Dec 2006 08:37:57 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
My compression gauge tends to read high but I more look for evenness than how high or low.
You see, a compression test is not a really good indicator of the health of the engine.
If it reads 140 or 180 Psi all over all cylinders, it really doesn't matter that much and can be attributed to different gauge reading but still a healthy engine.
You want to look for one or two cylinders that are much lower than the other two and if so, you do a leak down test of each cylinder and that will tell you much more of what's going on.
