Hello All,
What compression is typically found on a brand-new 90 ELPTO and what *absolute* reading requires overhaul? I cannot see any figures in my service & repair manual. Other posts on this topic tell me that anything above 100 PSI and 5-10% between cylinders is OK, however my mechanic is saying the official figure is 10 Atmospheres (147 PSI) and overhaul is required if the reading is below 6 Atmospheres (88 PSI).
A reference to the service & repair manual page or a screenshot with the figures in question would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks in advance,
Dmitriy
