I sort of am embarrassed to post/ask this but ive been looking for my Volvo repair manual to get my answer but I cant find it, so far. I think wife put it somewhere when cleans up and she doesn’t recall seeing it. Grrrr. :Þ~~~~

Maybe I did something?? Oh well, anyway here goes: Could anyone please tell me what the compression is on the cylinders, I mean what numbers should I hope to see on a 23 year old engine with 240k on it?

I know I need the numbers to be close to each other, but when I do the test, what should I look for on the dial in pounds?

My guess, and only a guess: 170? 190? Or maybe lower like 150? I just don’t know, darn it, and im almost sure when I get the answer here, hopefully, THEN I’ll find that book!! Anyway, thank you.

****Now' where IS that book????? 'grrrrrrrrrr**" :^Þ~~~~

BTW sincere thanks to those who answered on my prevuous post recently on exactly HOW to do the comp test.. Good answers!!
