Wondering what you guys have got for readings when doing compression tests?
Im more of a low elevation rider. I bought an 18 and realized it ate snow when i pulled pipe and pistons were scuffed.
Had 140/142 for compression. I put new pistons and rings and piston pin bearings along with having cylinders diamond honed by local race shop.
60 miles on new setup and both show 143. I did warm up twice and shut down to cool. Then ive been doing lots of throttle chops and some 1000ft wide open pulls.
Hoping it goes up more yet once it has a few hundred miles. Just ordered the defender intake kit.
Checked pistons through y pipe yesterday everything looks good and no blowby like old pistons had.
Also run about 12 oz of oil to a tank of gas to help with lube.
