Would someone in the know be kind enough to tell me what should the compression pressures be?

Also what's the range limit, 1 bar between highest and lowest is a typical figure - is this the same for rattly old VW aircools ?

Thanks in advance.

6 - 9.5 bar, minimum 5 bar, max difference between cylinders 3 bar

Thank you. Time to ascertain the health of my engine!

If mines getting 9.5 to 10 bar does that mean I've got a build up of pressure in the crankcase or is that something completely different and unrelated?

It means you have a good set of pistons rings and barrels

it's not connected

Good to know, thanks Kev. Rules out another thing then with mine

What thing?

This thing, though the garage hopes to have another look today or tomorrow, at no charge apparantly
