Re: Compression difference on different side?
Ron7000,<br /><br />I'm not a master mechanic by any means like yourself. I only work on motors for fun because I like learning about them from guys who are willing to teach and because my job is stressful.<br /><br />As far as the number thing. You admit I can figure out when the gauge is halfway between 10 and 20. So you admit I can read a 185 reading. Why then can't I use the same logic and spacial ability to measure the distance between the 10 psi and figure out "about" where 1-9 would be. I think you just said a difference of 10-20 PSI should "be irrelevant". <br /><br />Have you ever owned a clock or watch without numbers? Could you figure out what time it was? <br /><br />If it's irrelevant I can say 190, 191, 192 and it's all the same. Why worry about that little of a difference right? <br /><br />The reason I noticed the difference was there was an obvious and consistant difference between sides of the motor. I thought it was interesting and was hoping and expert could shed some light on the subject. <br /><br />I also learned a lot on the compression test process from Don and others on this site who were willing to lend advice. I plan on doing the test again properly to see what my results are. I did not know I needed to calibrate my compression gauge. I will investigate that further. <br /><br />I don't mind a little chop busting as long as it can go both ways. : ) I'm glad we can all have fun while learning and teaching.<br /><br />ML
