I did a compression test on my car today and everything looks ok but I'd like opinions.
First some background: 86 GT with 172k on the body. Supposedly prior owner swapped in this 20k motor. 1 147 2 150 3 147 4 150 5 147 6 147 7 147 8 143 These are the dry numbers. I wanted to do a wet test but couldn't find the damn oil can I tried to use a turkey baster to get some oil in there but that was futile I was happy with the consistency. What are the numbers for a fresh motor? Also this may seem a bit odd, but I have to ask. When I did the test, all the cylinders on the left side bled down after I stopped cranking. On the right side they all remained at their peak values until I manually released the pressure. Any ideas? Thanks. Bob
