i did a compresion test today and here are the results starting from closest to the distributer and going on to the camgears.
215, 210, 210, 210
all had around 6-8 cranks in them
what you guys think?
is this good or bad?

 

pretty good how many miles do you have on your motor?

 

probly less than 13k
see my motor blew up because of technical difficulties and i had my motor warrentied my chassie has 34k
if i only had a pic to remember it see a stem broke off and the piston smashed it into the head and it jumped from one piston to another and f-uped everything head, block, almost all the pistons, some broke off it was terrible, if only i had a pic

 

Looks great to me

 

also i wanted to add that i didnt crank it till the needle stops, is there any harm if i crank it till the needle stops?

 

damn anil and his ITR

 

of course it's good.

There are like 3 threads per day about compression numbers...should be apparant by now as to what is good and what isn't

 

compression #'s are good.

 

You want to keep cranking it until the needle stops although the first 4-5 cranks will get you to about 95% of your total compression. Your numbers look fine as motors I have checked before were in the 205-210 range.

 

i aslo wanted to add that my oil wasnt all the way at the second dont it was like almost between the two dots. would this make a difference if i changed my oil and have enough oil?

 

straight from the helms.

Nominal 1,860 kPa (19.0 cgf/cm ^2) (270 psi)
Minimum 930 kPa (9.5 cgf/cm^2) (135 psi)
Maximum variation 200 kPa (2.0 cgf/cm^2) (28 psi)

You are within range (210-215) and your variation isn't over 28. So your fine.
