lq4 compression?
a friend and i are going to look at a lq4 today for his son, the guy sent us a video of it running (rigged up out of the truck) it sounds like it has a dead hole, he also said fuel coming out of one exhaust manifold so we are going to do a compression to help figure out if its a low compression or bad plug/coil
whats the range of compression that is good to run? how much difference between cylinders are ok?

my 240,000km junkyard 6L that I just got tested between 165-175psi on all holes with the throttle wide open if that helps you out. I haven't actually run the engine yet however, but it should be ok
