Listers,
Don't beat on me too hard on this one but I have a question. I have
the carbs off the BGT, so it won't run, but I wanted to do a compression
test, so I did. I wanted to see if there are huge discrepancies between the
pistons. I figure I can get a general idea. I get (in psi) 130, 115, 135,
130 from front to back, that is radiator to firewall. The test looks pretty
good considering. I was looking for a bad cylinder, with a large
discrepancy (ie. 130, 125, 87, 130). I know the working compression (high)
should be 160psi. I think I can get close to that with the engine running.
Can I consider this pretty much valid, or am I really off base here and
cannot count this info at all?
Thanks,
Jim Laukaitis
