1. TR3 Compression (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Mon, 22 Mar 1999 10:04:11 -0700; What is typical compression (lbs) on an unmodified 1991cc TR3A engine? Any opinions on how wide a variance I should see among cylinders before I become concerned that there's a problem? Thanks. Geo H; /html/triumphs/1999-03/msg01416.html (6,871 bytes)

Re: TR3 Compression (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Mon, 22 Mar 1999 09:09:41 -0800 "TR3 Compression" (Mar 22, 10:04am); My engine which I consider to be pretty tired, lots of ring blow by, reads ~150 on each cylinder. This is with letting it turn over until it quits increasing. Probably about 10 times. Drew -- Drew Ro; /html/triumphs/1999-03/msg01418.html (7,885 bytes)
3.

5. Re: TR3 Compression (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Mon, 22 Mar 99 09:46:42 -0800; Compression is a funny thing to measure accuratly. Clearences are looser (with lower pressure readings) on a cold engine than a hot engine and cheap gauges are not always accurate. Personally I do n; /html/triumphs/1999-03/msg01422.html (8,945 bytes)

7. TR3 Compression (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Mon, 22 Mar 1999 14:26:38 -0600; George, I had variances from 125 down to 100 psi (cold) on mine, it would smoke a little on acceleration and used a quart of oil every 200 miles or less.

8. Re: TR3 Compression (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Mon, 22 Mar 1999 15:52:49 -0500 (EST); I assume it applied primarily to Ice Blue or Olive Yellow cars. :-) Actually, I'm rather sure those numbers would be for the original 90 hp TR2 engine.

9. RE: TR3 Compression (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Mon, 22 Mar 1999 09:47:48 -0800; Interesting. I've always heard to check compression with the plugs OUT ... In fact, I believe my Chevy manual says to check with the plugs out and the throttle open. Anyway, the compression gauge rea; /html/triumphs/1999-03/msg01453.html (9,414 bytes)
