I just checked my compression and I wanted to get some list wisdom about the
results.


The values are as follows:


Cyl 1 124 psi
Cyl 2 153 psi
Cyl 3 166 psi
Cyl 4 144 psi


According to Bentley the minimum pressure should be at least 119 psi and all
cylinders should be within 44 psi of each other.


It seems to me that my engine is OK according to Bentley, but I am worried
about the low value in cylinder 1.  The range also seems too variable.  What
is the prognosis for my engine?  Should I rebuild it now? Wait?


Thanks,


John Brown
