compression test results

[AndyBird]

hello all

was testing the 323 engine im putting in the 318 cant start the bugger due to a fuelling issue that i was gonna sort in the 318

so ive done a cold compression test on the engine and come out with results between 12 and 13 bar on closed throttle ie not wot

surely it shouldnt be that high??

[320Touring]

13 bar? as in 174 psi?

sounds healthy mate-but a bit high! was gauge reading ok?

as for the fuelling problem in the 318 shell-gotta be the pump hasnt it or the Fuel Pressure Regulator?given that they're prob the only parts of teh m40 system left

i thought was high seemed to be reading right thought but was between 12 and 13 bar thought the differences were probably down to not being on wot and being cold

TIS says min 10-11 bar, don't say anything about a maximum though, if they are all reading more or less the same then it's probably ok.
