Compression test tollerances

Post by spudboy6 »

Can anyone tell me what's acceptable for a compression test

I got out of mine dry bore

Starting chain end
170
160
145
170


Had the bike apart to change some things in the cooling system as suspect head gasket fault

the range should be 99 - 156psi, so you are high on some of yours, also the range between your highest and lowest is 25psi, which is quite a bit, they should ideally be within 10psi of each other
