Compression question
I just did a compression check on my car and here is what i got:
#1- 155
#2- 160
#3- 155
#4- 160
#5- 158
#6- 158
#7- 160
#8- 155
What ratio would that give me. The car has 118,000 miles on it and i was told that these readings were great, but wasn't told anything about the ratio. Any help is appreciated.

Compression question
compression testing doesnt give you the compression ratio. Sure a higher compression ratio will give you higher compression readings, but the purpose of a compression test is to determine the shape of your engine sealing</P>
*wow I said the word compression alot, hope I didnt confuse yout*</P>
stock 5.0 compression is 9 to 1 by the way</P><edited><editID>vshayes</editID><editDate>37917.0187152778</editDate></edited>
