[QUOTE=db_cooper;6892454]The 10% leak down is fine..I don't understand how the compression test could be so low and even across all six cylinders.
As I recall, those old 2.4 mechanically injected engines had a low compression ratio. ( something like 8.0 to 1 or 7.5 to 1 ) They never pumped up the compression gauge much over 120psi when new.

my guess is they did not open the throttles when doing the test. there's always a noticable difference. same with carbs.
