Re: B16A2 Compression (eg6b0i)

I believe normal compression should be 250psi. 135psi is the minimum. And 29psi should be the maximum variation between cylinders.

Re: B16A2 Compression (SiBuddy00)

Which do you mean, leakdown or compression test?

185 to 190 compression is normal for a USDM B16. But every tester is different.
