Compression test?
Preparing to perform compression test on 360/390. No knowledge of motor history. What are normal readings for new or "good " stock motors?

More than 100 PSI and no more than 15 percent difference btwn adjoining cylinders.

Don't forget to disconnect the coil and pin the throttle wide open.
