What compression reading on each cylinder should I be achieving on my 1964 2.4 ?

Hello Martfill,

I'm not familiar with the 2.4 but I would imagine > 130 psi, howevr it is more important that all readings be fairly similar around say a 10 psi difference, not much more?

Checked all 6 cylinders and all are showing between 150 and 160, so very pleased with that .
