What should motorcycle compression be?
Readings will vary by make and model, so for an exact ideal measurement, we recommend consulting your manual. However, if you’re just looking for a ballpark, pressure should be from 125 PSI to 150 PSI in each cylinder, and each cylinder should not vary by more than 10 percent from the others.
What compression should a k20 have?
The Helm says somewhere around 190 but compression testers have a little bit of variance. Proper way to know if compression is good, is to make sure all numbers are uniform. As in 190/185/190/185 is good 190/185/65/80 is bad. Up to 10 PSI variance is ok, anymore than that there is most likely a problem.

What should my compression reading be on my car?
The most desirable situation is that all cylinders, give the same or close to the same reading. Furthermore, that reading should be above 135 PSI. Uneven readings are not uncommon on high mileage or worn engines. Also, the difference between the highest and lowest readings, should be no more that 20%.
What should the PSI be on a compression test?
Uneven readings are not uncommon on high mileage or worn engines. Also, the difference between the highest and lowest readings, should be no more that 20%. As long as the lowest reading is 100 PSI or better; then the engine is acceptable.
What should the compression of an engine be?
There is more than one school of thought; on what the compression of the average engine should be. As a general rule a compression of 135 PSI or better is excellent. Similarly, A compression of 85 PSI or lower is extremely bad. The most desirable situation is that all cylinders give the same or close to the same reading.
How do you do the wet compression test?
To perform the wet test; a tablespoon of engine oil is poured into the cylinder, through the spark plug hole. So, you squirt the tablespoon of engine oil into a cylinder, that is reading low.

How many compression strokes do you need for compression test?
Avoid any flames around the engine during the test. First of all, connect the tester to a cylinder and turn the engine over, 6 to 8 compression strokes. You will be able to hear the cranking speed slow; as the tested cylinder comes up on it’s compression stroke.
