does anyone know what a good compression is on a KA24DE? I’ve seen some people who get theirs tested and they are at 145 and 150 psi. i got mine tested a few months ago and it was at 180 on 2 cyl and 185 on the other 2. just curious to see what a good number should be 🙂

Below 160 and the engine is starting to get tired, a good engine should be 175-190+ Range.
