RE: What compression level is bad?

["Patrick Bureau" <pbureau@home.com>]

well unsure again.. on the 8v the tolerance between the highest and lowest
compression number must not be bigger than 40PSI. I don't know what this
number is for a 16v, 180-165 = 15 differential, so it cannot be bad, but
looks like you could use an overhaul of the engine.

Mine has 144K and I have 160-159-160-160  for example...

I know its early and your wondering what the fsk I am babbling about....

I had a compression test awhile back and got this:
#1=180 #2=165 #3=175 #4=180

Does this suck for an engine with around 160,000 miles
on it? Or is it about right?

Later...
