Compression Check: Specifications

AllData Editors Note - Ford does not provide a cranking pressure specification, only an acceptable range.

Compression Pressure Limit Chart:





Compression pressures are considered within specification if the lowest reading cylinder is within 25 percent of the highest reading cylinder.

NOTE: Variations exceeding 25 percent indicate an improperly seated valve or worn/broken piston rings.
