banshee_kid350 Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 I did a compression test right before I tore it down. it was around 98lbs in each cylinder I went ahead I decided to do a new top end .030 over and wisecos than I ordered a noss head with 19cc domes and some boyesen pro86 reeds with spacers along with my fmf fatties and k&n clamp ons that were already there I get it all together and the compression is like 101 lbs in each cylinder my altitude is about 4300 above sea level at salt lake city why did it only give me that much more compression?? shouldnt it be a little more or not? I just hope that it is going to be more power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holyman Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 During break-in the rings will "wear in" and the compression will go up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sredish Posted May 30, 2004 Report Share Posted May 30, 2004 not at 4,300 feet. At that elevation, 105 to 110 would be more accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
