"Compression Pressure kPa (kg/cm2, psi) / RPM
Standard = 1,236 (12.6, 179) / 300
Minimum = 1,040 (10.6, 151) / 300
Difference limit between cylinders = 98 (1.0, 14) / 300"

how do you do it at 3000rpm? the throttle was wide open, we did it the way we knew how to, cut fuel, remove all spark plugs, and crank the engine with the guage in each sparkplug hole

docrice

the specs are specified @ 300 rpm (not 3k), which is the speed your engine *should* crank at with the starter when the motor is warmed up. variation in that speed will cause variation in your numbers.
