96 vmax compression

forgot to ask do I just let it get to full operating temp then shut off. Screw in the compression tester and pull a few times with key off. Same for both sides. or is there something different.

Thanks Jason
 
Around 125-130 for a healthy mill.

do the test @ operating temp, throttle wide open, good 5-6 pulls each cyl do each hole two times for your average.
 
not sure if i am doing something wrong or not. I let it warm up then pushed the kill switch. pulled one plug out screwed in the compression tester held throttle open pulled about 5 times and the needle jumps to only about 95ish. THen did the same for the other cylinder and same results. The only reason I checked is curiosity sled has 1200 miles and never had a problem running.
Appreciate any input Jason
 
Could be a gauge problem or it's just that low,cani ask what type of tester you using and the lenght of hose on it? long thread adaptor or short?

i would say thats part of your problem there,thats allot of hose to fill with comp. i use a short hose tester always. can u borrow another tester from
someone?
 
Yes I will check tomorrow or buy one for myself borrowed this one from my boss. Hope that is the problem. Like I said never had a problem with the sled and gets 14 mpg most of the time.

Thanks for the help and advice Daman and Iwill pick your brain again soon, Jason

Anytime....
 
you know i've used $200 SNAP-ON(from work) and own a cheaper OTC and they all seem about the same. just get one that looks pretty good(not cheap looking crap)with a shorter hose.
 
I will be borrowing another one tomorrow There was definatly a leak somewhere because it didn't hold any pressure at all it would go to 95 and then to 0 on every pull but I should know tomorrow night for sure
