Eek! Compression Info Nasty

By John - 11/29/2004 8:44:34 PM; IP 142.177.82.61

My compression test about 195 psi in all cylinders. The fact yours is only at 100 psi yields a poor built-in compression ratio. If the engine was merely worn, you would be showing a lot more difference between cylinders I would think. It is very important to pick a cam designed to work with the engine's compression ratio. Seems to me, you are way out. Either change your pistons or cylinder heads to fix this.

This thread, so far...
