anything above 135psi and with less then 28psi spread between any of the cylinders is acceptable.

good numbers are 165-250psi with spread of less then 10psi.

as long as they are all consistent it is fine...i have a D15B7 with a D16Z6 head...compression theoretically is now 10.1:1 instead of 9.1:1 I got 212, 211,214,213 they can be 150 or 250 like eg6ajk said, just as long as it is consistent

Get one of those from sears...take out ur spark plug wires..screw that gauge onto the spark plug...crank the motor over for about 10 seconds...the gauge will throw a number at you (in psi) then repeat and do for each of the other ones...

just do 5 cranks of that cylinder. Have someone watch the gauge.

If you do 7 cranks on one cylinder and 2 on the next....the readings will be way off.
