I did a compression test and here are the results:
1 = 90psi 2 = 130psi 3 = 122psi 4 = 125psi I did cylinder #1 twice, just to be sure. It was consistent at 90. I wasn't experiencing any problems, I was just curious about the condition of the engine as I don't know any history on the car. #1 obviously is not up to snuff, but how bad is it? Don't venture far from home bad? or Rebuilding might give me some more horsepower bad? Thanks, Mike |
