Well friends, I decided to do a Compression Test on my VTR, for fun mainly lol.

It's a Silver top MK1 with 99,108Miles on it :)

First, Unoiled.

1. 105 PSI (7.2 Bar)
2. 115 PSI (8 Bar)
3. 105 PSI (7.2 Bar)
4. 105 PSI (7.2 Bar)

Then Oiled.

1. 250 PSI (17 Bar)
2. 250 PSI (17 Bar)
3. 180 PSI (12.5 Bar)
4. 190 PSI (13 Bar)

Ermm about 3 squirts lol

And it does run well, pulls fine, doesn't seem slow against other VTR's.

I'm not that bothered as I'm sticking another engine in soon.

But yeh I was surprised with how much difference there is.

I'm gona look up what it's meant to be when new in a sec. But does anyone know?

What sort of gauge you using?

[RustySkull]

I can't remember the name of it, but it's an analog one, looks a bit like one you get on some bottles, with Bar and PSI, a little pressure release button etc... Lol.


Why's that mate?
