I did a compression test on my H22.

Cyls1 through 4 all averaged between 250-253.

I'm assuming those are good numbers since they are all about the same.. Or my motor is breaking down evenly

What are the exact #'s on new motor?

Thanks

Who did the test for you?

probably himself, fairly easy

imported_Cablerat

did it myself.

bought a tester from princess auto.

Removed ECU fuse, couldn't find fuel pump. (So when you're cranking you don't flood the engine with fuel)

Disconnected harness to distributor.(Just incase! Don't want wires to be sparking...)

Pulled out all the wires and spark plugs.

screw tester into chamber and have someone crank until the compression stop rising.

Trying to picture this... head off?

I think the lower the compression numbers are the better... 80 is a great number to aim for ...

no head off, u put the the guage where the spark plugs go and it measures the compression in psi

Sweet! Gonna have to do that this weekend. Thanks.
