Ricky49 Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 I dont think there is a set number they should be but as long as there aren't any really really low ones or a big differences in numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee P Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 A little low but consistant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davej705 Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 What would be considered really good figures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey. Posted October 2, 2010 Author Share Posted October 2, 2010 A little low but consistant. You wouldn't worry about it though?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee P Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 What would be considered really good figures? I see 189 -190 on most engines that are in tip top condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Results look healthy. Figures below taken from the Workshop Manual Standard pressure: 1,079 kPa (11.0 kgf/cm2, 156 psi) or more Minimum pressure: 883 kPa (9.0 kgf/cm2, 128 psi) Difference between each cylinder: 98 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm2, 14 psi) or less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 You ideally want to test with a warm engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee P Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Cold fella, y? That will explain it, engine needs to be run up to temp then do the test. Still good results though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey. Posted October 2, 2010 Author Share Posted October 2, 2010 I drove it about 2 hours b4! Cold/walmish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy442 Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Good info Figures below taken from the Workshop Manual Standard pressure: 1,079 kPa (11.0 kgf/cm2, 156 psi) or more Minimum pressure: 883 kPa (9.0 kgf/cm2, 128 psi) Difference between each cylinder: 98 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm2, 14 psi) or less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraDan24 Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 psi Lol i knew that much I meant what do each psi reading represent, is it the value at which they leak, or does it start at 200psi or something then you record the pressure after a set time.

Bailey. Posted October 2, 2010 Author Share Posted October 2, 2010 You put a pressure gauge in each spark plug hole(cylinder) and crank the engine to get a reading! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey. Posted October 2, 2010 Author Share Posted October 2, 2010 Starts at 0! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLicense Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 It's the maximum pressure generated by the piston compressing the air in the cylinder. If your readings are low then it would mean that the air is escaping somewhere at a rate quicker than the piston can compress it. As has been said, don't worry if the values are a little low, as long as they're consistent. If one is low on it's own then it means trouble.
