Anything less than 100 lbs is very questionable. Before you buy it have the seller do a decarbon on the motor in case the rings are carboned up and retest the compression. If it does not come up over 100 you might want to keep lookin.

Dont get too hung up on numbers. They are all real close so thats good. The actual number depends on which heads are on it. Some of the loopers were around 95 when new. And we deal with gages that differ also. <br /><br />I also would suggest a decarb and go from there. <br /><br />Good luck!
