  • Compression spec for DOHC?

    I was running a compression test on my engine last night and couldn't find the spec in the Specifications page. Anybody know what the spec is? Half were 140, the other half were 150.

    88 Fiero GTs - L32 3.4 5sp & ZZ430 5.7 SBC V8 5sp (the twins) L32 -> LQ1 swap is underway
    6sp LS1 Corvette Roadster (parts getter)

    someone here told me 170-190psi but 140-150 sounds correct to me.

        that good as long as it fairly even and I assume that you were testing it cold, so that would be right on a stock engine.
