I finally bought a compression tester the other day, and got results for all four cylinders. Cylinders 1-4 all check out very consistent and even all the way across, maintaining around 180-185psi after several cranks of the piston reaching TDC. My battery isn't the greatest so it may not have been cranking at enogh RPM's to see proper results.
For reference, I wanted to get a little compression comparison going on so that I can get an idea of what people with healthy 5S's are running. I'm doing these checks to determine whether or not to lightly boost what I already have or to go for a newer 5SFE before the project begins. Post up figures if you have them, otherwise let me know what you think of mine and what route I should take with the motor. -------------------- 3rd gen ST205 3SGTE - Alive and boosting. |

those are good numbers. what it tells you is that your headgasket and rings are in good shape. if you really want to test things some more, get a leak down tester. those tell you a lot more about your engine then a normal comression tester will.
how many miles do you have on the engine? -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
