My '73 18V engine has a good 140 psi compression is it true a '72 is only around 130 new and 115 psi would still be OK? Paul Tegler 1973 BGT - Daily Driver 1975 Spitfire -in Cherry Shape 1980 Spitfir

IMHO generally anything over 100 psi would be considered pretty darn good. 140 is almost scary. :) -JW John Walker john@rmartin.net drone@d23.com == ~= Early 1974 MGB =~ == In Progress :)

Compression guages are not noted for their absolute accuracy. A lot of things factor into the final reading. What is critical is that all of the cylinders read within about 5 psi of each other. You w

scary? upon my recent renewal of my 77B it tested 150, 150, 145, 150. I did not oversize any components, but did go to a copper head gasket. is there really and danger involved in such readings? will

No no no, I assume he was being facetious about "scary". I wouldn't worry about too-high compression until you got into the 170s; or, of course, if just one cylinder was particularly high. If you wer

Depends. Is your car a High Compression motor or a Low Compression motor? If it's HC, std they were 160psi, LC 130psi. If you have fit a copper head gasket that normally results in a thicker head ga

As well as the 160 for HC and 130 for LC 18G engines, 18V are quoted at 170 to 195 in the Workshop Manual. PaulH. http://freespace.virgin.net/paul.hunt1/ (or if that URL doesn't work try ) (http://19

Which absolutely has to be a typo, surely? 195 psi cranking pressure equates to 11:1 compression, a bit much for even real 100-octane petrol!

It's given on two pages - one as "170 to 190" and the other as "170 to 195". Haynes, though, just gives the single figure - 170 - for the same engines. PaulH. equates 170
