Welcome to DF. Post your question in the Neon section. This section is for reporting issues with the Dodge Forum internet site.

 

Moved the thread for you.

Compression will vary based on mileage, valve wear, piston ring condition, Ect.

Normally each cylinder should be within a certain percent of each other. With that being said, a service manual will tell you complete specifications on what they should be and what percent within one another. Low compression or big differences between each will mean a rebuild

 

the min compression no less the 125 psi.. and no less then 10-15 percent per each cylinder differance from each other..but seen 20 percent but that didnt affect the motor much....my wife has three cars.. 2 neon and a breeze..her first gen neon has 170 psi in all accept #1 has 160..that has 181000...2 gen neon 2 170psi and 2 155 psi and that has 142000..breeze has all 175 psi accept 1 was at 160...that has 157000 on it...now my 01 neon has 2 200 psi and 2 190 psi in the cylinders..that has 103000 on it..
