Hello all,
My D-Type engine has been compression tested by myself today.
What should my readings be? I need to know before i start any work, as it isnt listed in the Haynes Manual and i cant find it anywhere.

I am getting these readings:

Gearbox end first
Piston 1 - 40PSI / 3Bar
Piston 2 - 35PSI / 2.5Bar
Piston 3 - 30PSI / 2Bar
Piston 4 - 40PSI / 2 Bar.

When oilded the readings go to 50PSI / 3.5 Bar all around.

I NEED to know what the readings should be, and which ones are low.

Thanks.
