So, I'm buying my teg tomorrow, I'm going to do a compression test because the motor has 125k on it, how picky should I be with the numbers?

What would be average for a motor with 125,000 miles?

 

gsr type r ls ? not sure if it make much of a diff how high the number get but u want them within 10 of each other my ls is 160 across all 4 but seen newer ones at 180 or so , but like i said its more important that there within 10

 

Opps, sorry, it's a 97 LS

I'm thinking that if there's any major problem it'll be a big difference, so we'll just see what happens!

*crosses fingers*

thats about right..i ran 150-160 across the board on my Ls

 

I should range from 150-180.

 

I think as long as your +/- 10 from each cylinder...you should be fine...

 

Thanks guys... I'm excited to become a honduh owner for the first time...

....just don't tell my mustang friends

 

As said before, just make sure there isn't too much variance between the cylinders. Come back and tell us your results. Depending on the results, it can be either good or bad. If it's bad, there are a couple of tricks you can do to determine what's wrong.

Good luck. Make sure you keep the throttle at WOT when you do the test. Otherwise your numbers will be all significantly lower than 150-180ish.
