Low 6s is kind of low, although even numbers are more important than high numbers, I'd try and shoot for low 7s.

Depends at what rpm that was tested at.

6 is the minimum acceptable at 250 rpm...as stated in the shop manual. It it was lower than 250, than lower than 6 is acceptable. However, these are the MINIMUMS acceptable as stated in the shop manual.

If you want a really strong engine, than try to shoot for one in the 7 range.

Later,
Patrick
