I have a 3B with 320,000Km. Runs well, cold starts great.
However I bought a cheap compression tester online, and upon compression testing the engine, I have noticed these results.
1. 200 PSI
2. 200 PSI
3. 200 PSI
4. 200 PSI
I wasn’t expecting all cylinders to be exactly the same. But please note, this was after the engine was sitting for about 2 months with 0 oil in the cylinders. I also was only using the one battery, so the engine wasn’t cranking as fast.
Is this normal? What should my PSI be?
Please find the video below of the engine starting after 6 months- it can’t be 200 PSI- the engine wouldn’t be able to run right? This leads me to believe that something else is wrong.
Is it possible that my compression tester isn’t long enough?
