I WILL NO LONGER GO TO THE MECHANIC WHERE I WAS GETTING MY INFO FROM, I WILL TURN TO HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION. What mistakes have I made? I ruined a 200 4r trans, broke lifters and pushrods, wiped out the lobes on 2 cams. Even as far as getting my arm stuck in driver side header, droping the 7/16 to the floor, and waiting cramped up for my dad to find me 4 hours later. It might be a street car, but my ad number is 1526368 if anyone wants to check it out.
Now we are getting somewhere, it takes a man to admit fault, very good.
Now, what you get by adding the compression readings up and dividing them by number of cylinders you checked will give you a "AVERAGE" compression pressure, not the compression ratio.
