Starwriter Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 After having the cylinders decked, you should probably do a squish test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camatv Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 22ft lbs final tq is a lil much. to much tq and you can pull the studs up and warp the top of the cylinders. an o-ringed head dosent need nearly as much tq as you think.

bansman76 Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Hey guys. Checked my compression today and got 150 psi. Done it 3 times each cylinder got same number every time.
