what is a good compression reading on a stratus/caravan 2.4?

 

Compression[/b] should not be less than 689 kPa
(100 psi) and not vary more than 25 percent from cylinder
to cylinder.

 

ahh jeremy - always there whn i need ya. lol. so 120 psi is a good reading?

2.0 should test around 180 shouldnt it? why so much higher?

 

yeah 120 would be a damn good reading... its just lower do to the stroke of the motor...

Remember the 2.4 has the same bore just an inch longer stroke... hence it pulls more air in every intake stroke... in theroy you would think extra air more pressure... however for some reason no...

 

sweet thank you guys.. i was gonna ask this before i do a compression check.. but i never got around to it..
