Compression...?

[sr20-s15foo]

I just got my s14 clip and I did a compression check. All the cylinders were about 138lbs. Is that too low...? I dont want to see any heresay, only known facts, too many people give educated guesses, no guesses, experts only, i need to know wheather or not engine is good and to pay down the rest of the money on the clip. thanks

Posted by Charlie on the Velocity boards:

the numbers should be (in all possible units):

standard
1079kPa
10.79 bar
11.0 kg/cm^2
156 psi

minimum
883 kPa
8.83 bar
9.0 kg/cm^2
128 psi

and the difference between cylinder limits are
98 kPa
.98 bar
1.0 kg/cm^2
14 psi

So your motor seems to be OK.
