Humour me...
Joe Blogs owns a 2.5 V6 Omega. The expected compression if he were to do a test would be around 175 to 220psi.
Joe gets 205 on each cylinder.
Joe is happy because all his cylinders are within spec and more importantly they're all the same with no drops across the cylinders.
QUESTION
Why such a huge gap between acceptable compression readings? This suggests to me that the dogs 'dangle berries' as left from factory shoulda been 220 and joe has lost 15 psi somewhere?
I know some of you will say that the figures don't mean anything and it's the comparison between the cylinders that's the key. But I can't believe that omega owner A has 220 on all cylinders and omega owner B has 175 on all cylinders will perform the same from a speed aspect.
And don't beat me up too much for my very unrealistic scenario. .. Just humour me
