John:
That is low, but *perhaps* not outrageously low depending on
whether the head has been shaved and what kind of cam you have in the
motor. If the head and cam are stock, then I would expect 105 to 110
PSI, with all cylinders within 10PSI of that number. So you can see that
your head is low, kinda borderline. Let me ask you a few questions:
What is the highest reading? What is the lowest reading? And
what is the average? Is the head shaved and how much? Is the cam stock
and what is the valve timing?
