maybe i just didnt look hard enough on here but what am i looking for on a compression test. i put the gauge on , kicked it over and got about 60 p.s.i. i dont know what it should be but on a car, thats real low. any help would be great

ive heard a good compression is 125-135 psi is what i was told

 

[flyers42091]

you need at least 90psi to run, and around 125-130psi being perfect for a stock motor.

now what process is used to do a compression test. i just kicked it over and looked at the gauge

 

[tjsdaname]

stock: anything above 100 is okay

I was told dont run anything under 110psi but I am not a mechanic. I am sure people have run their blaster w/ 90 or 100psi

kick it over a few times, more then 3 for a good reading.

Kick it with the throllte wide open the kill switch to off and kick it till it stops.
