Hello, does anyone know what readings should be got with a compression test for a 1399cc C2JP7/13 engine ?
The readings don't seem to be in my book. Thanks to anyone who replies.
 
The C2JP713 engine from a R5 TS and TX compression ratio 9,25:1
 
Thankyou but it was the pressure readings from a compression test i was after, ie:-how many PSI on maximum compression
 
About 130psi from memory would be really good. 120psi OK. Pressure gauges aren't always calibrated too well so the main thing is to have all cylinders measure about the same pressure. If one of them is 20psi lower than the others it might indicate a leaky valve. Giving the car a good run and checking again is sensible before pulling anything apart.
