Here these should help straighten this out.

http://www.convert-me.com/en/convert/pressure


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.
