Compression test results.
I have spent the last 3 days getting the car all ready for racing season (hopefully the track will open next week), and have been tracing down a timing problem among other things. I was setting the hot valve lash and figured I'd do a compression test to see how things are doing. The shortblock has approximately 10,000 very hard street/strip miles. I am very happy with how it came out. The highest variance between cylinders was 3%.
Results:
Cylinder - PSI
1 - 180
2 - 183
3 - 180
4 - 186
5 - 182
6 - 186
7 - 182
8 - 185
