    Here are the inital results from another member that had a bad valve. He's in the UK so not sure if the measurements are comparable, but it's the only one I remember seeing recently.

    1 = 190
    2 = 170
    3 = 180
    4 = 0
    5 = 170
    6 = 165


    Guess which cylinder had the bad valve...

    The workshop manual list the desired compression at 14.0 Kg/cm2. So to convert that to psi you simply multiply by 14.223 and get 199 psi.

    Looks like you may have a gauge issue, or you're gonna need some rings.

    Hope this helps...
