<snip> Factory Spec: "Compression should not be less than 689 kPa (100

<and not vary more than 172 kPa (25 psi) from cylinder to cylinder."

<All of the new engines i've checked are all at an average of

<If the cylinders are all low (at or below 100psi)...either get a

stated was strictly from memory and was a general example of what I learned
