I will be doing one tomorrow morning and I cannot find what the acceptable results would be! Can someone tell me what range I should be within?

thanks

can someone PLEASE give me a link to the clarks garage article on compression tests?

 

clarks-garage has all the specs you need.

 

In my early n/as I would get 165-175 across all 4

 

I gained about 15psi when the engine is warmed up and the throttle opened full, which is how you wish to do the test anyways.....

Don't be surprised with low number on a cold engine and closed throttle body.

 

I couldnt find it on clarks-garage.

 

bump for link to compression test on clarks-garage

 

BUMP FOR A LINK

 

Here's the link but the site seems to bee down at the moment. (I was on iy just a few days ago)...

http://clarks-garage.com/

 

no, I mean can I have the link to the page on clarks-garage that has the specs for the compression test I could never find it

 

The factory wear limit is 145psi at sea level. Anything north of 160psi is good.
Hope that helps...

oops...I think that is for '87+ cars for some reason. Maybe someone can confirm that?

 

Mine's around 190 psi (early 85) with +1mm over U.S. pistons.
