Well here are the readings I got after dropping a cap full of oil into each cylinder. I started at 4. Poured a cap in and hooked up the gauge. Then let he eng turn over watching the gauge until I got max pressure. (couple sec of holding the key.) I then moved to cyl 3 and so on.
1)206
2)178
3)140
4)165
Points to know. I blew the head a couple yrs ago. 6 tiny cracks. I rebuilt the head with 2.1 cam and intake. I had the head done over with the works. Triple cut ported and matched. I never touched the lower end. I did check the walls of each cyl when I had the eng out. All 4 looked great!! very smooth and even.
I'll try anything to get out of pulling the head and redoing the lower end. I want to in the future, but I feel like I have spent to much money not to be able to drive right now. BTW I also have a 9K IC, jaks 3 inch exhaust and a big boy turbo.
Thanks
Tim
