Built 1.8 Motor - What should my compression results be?
Hey guys - So I'm running a 1.8 with CP 9:1 pistons and I'll be running a compression test after about 800 miles of break-in/beating-the-piss-out-of-it.
What should I see for numbers? Clearly it will be lower than factory but is there a way to determine the numbers, or does anyone just know them? What are you getting with your healthy 9:1 built engine? Thank you! |
Gauges will all read a little different, so just try to look for variance and not so much a raw number.
|
You're looking for consistency, not a set number. If they're within 10% from lowest to highest, you're good.
Obviously the closer together they are the better it is. |
Results 150 149 150 150. I'd say that's good. Break in successful!
|
Very nice!
|
Now leak it.
|
how much leakage % is acceptable?

Bro, that 710 cap is tight. Come at me.
That looks good, now leak it. |
Quick question for you guru's (especially Savington)
I made metal plate between head and block so I can measure my valve leakage % Results were: cyl1 = 2% leakage cyl2 = 6% leakage cyl3 = 2% leakage cyl4 = 2% leakage should I do something to that cyl2 (slightly leaking exhaust valves)? When my engine was warm I got 190 psi compression from that cylinder cylinderhead work here is expensive |
