what would be "good" numbers, for a compression check on a 94 Mercury 225?
Thanks,
Scott

Scott, it is more important that the numbers be equal within 10% more than a factor. usually want 100 psi or more.

They all were close, within 4-5 but only tested around 100 I talked to a mechanic at a shop on the phone after I posted this thread and he said anything below 105 and you would have some blow by. Any thoughts??
Much appreciated,
Scott
