When you do a compression check on a H22A motor what should the compression gauge say and how many times do you crank it?

 

pull the fuse for the fuel pump.

hold the throttle plate open,

then crank it until the gague stops moving. thats how i do it.

depending on you elevation the numbers could vary greatly from mine to yours.. but your looking for comparability so that they would all be withink 5 to 10 psi of each other..

 

thanks alot dude. i appreciate it

 

Make sure you remove all your spark plugs. Don't wanna start it while you're checking compression. And try not to turn it over more then 10 seconds. And space out the checks so you don't overheat your starter. You compression should be in the neighborhood of 200 PSI, and shouldn't see more then 10 PSI difference from your highest to lowest cylinder

 

i thought a 10% difference was the rule so 20psi

i did mine a couple months ago and got 220 220 220 200, 4 3 2 1 respectively

 

so is tht good compresion on yours?
