    Compression test

    Hey Guy's

    I have an M20 B25 2.5 liter motor what is the average cylinder compression supposed to be?
    Thanks for your help

    Is google down or something?
    Took me all of 30 seconds to find out. But somewhere between 142-156psi according to the Bentley
    What it feels like owning an e30:

        I was also wondering if its better to have the motor hot or cold while testing the compression, or does it really matter.
