Re: Compression Test Help Needed 200 84

Another important item in a compression test is a fully charged battery. Slow cranking will give lower readings.

I often read that you are looking for no more than 10% difference between highest and lowest, but it seems like most older engines are outside that spec aand often not in need of rebuilding.
