Does anyone know the compression value of a 998 engine. I'm getting 71 psi on the first stroke and a final reading of 138 psi on all the cylinders. thanks Felix |

That's a bit low..... JAM was getting 165 prior to recent rebuild. My $100 special 77 Clubby is getting 155 and runs well enough. |

My 1100 is getting 125 on all four. I know it is low but at least it is constant (and has been for seven years) |

the compression values i obtained were taken with the engine cold as there is no manifold on the engine.would a cold engine cause the low values |

Yes, I believe you are supposed to do it WARM. |

thanks all, i will do the compression check again once i change the side cover gaskets and exhaust/inlet manifold gaskets. next job on the 76 clubman S is welding a patch on the drivers side kick panel and getting seats re upholstered. Felix |

A cold engine will give higher values ...so when hot it will be significantly lower l |

A relativly chick check is to put a small bit of machine oil down the plug hole and do a wet test, if compression improves, shows a very worn engine. |
