- Hello list, I've got a 68' 2000, it's been smoking for a while now but it's gotten worse. I did a compression test today. Dry Wet What should the stock compression be? Do the results mean that it's t

- Hi Owen & list, (Make sure that engine is at operating temp. and throttle is WIDE OPEN and ALL PLUGS OUT when you crank it over for a comp. test.) Comp. of 185 - 195 is a good ballpark number. Looks

- I need to know what compression a U-20 should have per cylinder. Mine is only reading approx. 120 PSI per cylinder. Mike SRL 311 11714 SRL 311 09466 Hayden Lake, Idaho

- Yes, 120 is down a bit. Should be in the range of 160-190. -- Gordon Glasgow Renton, WA http://www.gordon-glasgow.org

- As already mentioned, I would expect the readings on a U20 to be a higher than 120 psi... but then again your compression gauge maybe in error! First... break loose the spark plugs when the engine i

- Also remember that low numbers could mean that a valve setting may be too tight. If the clearance is too small the valve won't fully close and some "pressure" may be lost out the slightly open valve.

- If you are running fine, reasonable power, and not spewing blue smoke out the tail pipe... Then a solid reading of 130 dry/140 wet seems reasonable. I'd give it a full tune up, swap in the better ca
