Test Results

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

The indicated compression pressures are considered within specification if the lowest reading cylinder is within 75 percent of the highest reading. Use the Compression Pressure Limit Chart.





If one or more cylinders reads low, squirt approximately one tablespoon of clean engine oil SAE 1OW-40XO-1OW40-QSP meeting Ford specification WSS-M2C153-G on top of the pistons in the low-reading cylinders. Repeat the compression pressure check on these cylinders.
