compression numbers
Posted: Fri Mar 09, 2012 1:14 am
Got a blacktop, importer has video of it making around 180psi I know he has dumped ATF in the cyls. I got the motor days later and immediately did a compression test. While doing a compression test I am getting readings of around 120psi not sure how much atf still in cylinders but it's there...
These are all on a cold motor uninstalled.. Manual states good is above 193 and min is 156...
Should I expect the compression to rise to an acceptable level when "warm"?
Or should I not risk installing it (mr2 so not fun) and just re ring it?
