cylinders should be fairly even. Within about 10 %. You are well in that area. It is more about the seal of rings and valves than set up.
Thanks Desertdog.
Jimbo, questions regarding your testing method. Do you have ALL of the spark plugs removed, is the air cleaner/filter removed AND is the throttle being held at wide open when you are spinning the engine over?
Mike
Yes Mike that is how i did the test.I was told that me being at 4800ft that if i were at sea level the readings would more like 150 psi.Quote:
