i just did a compresion test on my engine and here is what i come up with. tell me if good, bad, or normal, cuase i have no clue.
this is also my first time i did a compresion test so i may have done it wrong...
this is how i did it, after changing oil and oil filter (helped cure some of my ticking, but now i think i got exhaust gaskets leaking, exhaust nuts not tightend all the way whoops, anyway back to compresion testing)...
i did each cylinder individualy
i also did these test after i let the car warm up and pulling plugs. and did them several times.
with a push button i hand crafted that attached to the starter with aligator clips so i didnt have to use gogo gadget arms to turn it over and watch the compresion tester gauge.
turning over once: 120 psi on cylinders #1 #2 #3 and #4
turning over twice: 140 psi on cylinders #1 #2 #3 and #4
turning over 3 times: 155 psi on cylinders #1 #2 #3 and 160 psi on #4
turning over 4 times: 170 psi on #1 and #3 175psi on #2 and #4
any other turn overs result as same as turning over 4 times +/- 5 psi.
also waited after presured up to see if the psi went down on there own without hitting the release button and nope didnt... so umm whatcha think?
