[Chevelle-list] Compression Test

[BAINEY, WALTER]

With cam and other difference I don't look specifically for a number but
that they are within 5-10% from Highest to Lowest.  152-155 is nice and
consistant.

I did a compression test on my small block 327..all the cylinders turned
up to be very close with the lowest being 152 psi and the highest being
155 psi...I can't find a reference anywhere to see if these numbers are
within specs or are too low....Can anyone help me out..???..My engine is
burning a little bit of oil and I suspect the valve guides are worn but
wanted to do a compression test to check the condition of the rings...
