1995 gt Compression Test

I want to do a compression test on my 95 gt, but don't know what psi range i should be in. Motor has about 4k on it since rebuild. Does anyone know what the reading was when the was new?

Re: 1995 gt Compression Test

Lot of different things can change the max pressure you will see in your engine. So the test is done to find a cylinder or cylinders that is not as good as the others.

Re: 1995 gt Compression Test

If all of the cylinders are within 10% then no worries. I have seen 5.0's that have only 100 psi cranking and ran like there was no tomorrow. So as long as the low cylinder is within 10% of the highest cylinder, call it good.
