Re: compression?

Your looking at i believe 150psi in each cylinnder if i recall correctly. And if there is any more than a 15psi difference then that is less thann ideal if i recall correctly. Been some time since i've dabbled with this. Im sure some of the resident experts will chime in if im off on the numbers but i believe that should be pretty close. And if you really are gonna do the compression check and have a digital camera i bet everyone on the network would greatly apreciate the extra few minutes to show your process so others can learn from ya
