Cylinder PSI
Hey guys. I just did a comp. test on my 8.8.1 81.5mm gsr. The motor has just been put back together and the comp. was 135 on all cylinders. Does it matter if the motor has not been turned back on since changing the headgasket? I think its a low after doing some reading. Any input appreciated.

Re: Cylinder PSI
Warm the engine to operating temperature first before performing a compression test. Also make sure you crank each cylinder for the same amount of time, varying the time can change the results. You can leave the other plugs in there, or you can take them all out. If you test one with all the plugs in there, then test each cylinder that way. It's all about being consistent.
If you are still worried about the results, a cylinder leakage test will give you a more accurate answer of the engines "health".
