How much compression should a 84 Accord LX have?
Hello, I'm looking at buying a 84 Accord LX hatchback with the 1.8L engine tomorrow. I plan on doing a compression check, and just want an idea of what would be normal for this car. I've never done a compression check, but am going to buy one before I go look at it. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

No expert here, but I would think 160-190 PSI would be good. It is also important to note that there should not be more than a 10% difference between the individual cylinders.
Make sure you have a well charged battery, disconnect the coil to distributor wire, remove all the spark plugs. When turning over the motor, put the throttle pedal to the floor also.
