Compression numbers...
I see that but I am just seeing if the owner gave me his number wrong...all he did was email me the numbers. I didnt see the actual sheet.
Ill respond when I get the fax.

For our needs compression #s are as follows
kPA=3 digits plus decimals (minimum 400)
kgf/cm2=1 digit plus decimals
psi=2-3 digits plus decimal (maximum 120)
your figures show average 85psi per face in front= 6.0 kgf/cm2== minimum recomended
your figure show average 81 per face in rear = 5.695 kgf/cm2== below minimum recomended
You must also remember that correction tables are provided for engine cranking speed and elevation which when computed may make your numbers better or worse.
Hope this helps.

Just got off the phone with Tri-Point in LA and they talked to me about the car. Im not worried about the compression numbers anymore. They convinced me that the motor is strong and healthy(they have done ALL the work on the car). I know a rebuild WILL happen but I know it wont be for a while.
Compression numbers arent everything.
