Compression results on 2001 2.7L V6 (Intrepid)

Anyone have any compression test numbers on a 2.7 L V6 they can compare
with these ones. I did the test this afternoon after discovering my
long lost compression tester (missing for 20 years).

Engine has 237,000 Km ( 147K miles ). Engine was at full operating temp.

From the front :
Left Side Right Side

187 185
175 183
185 175

Manual says 100 psi minimum; no more than 25% variation.
These numbers certainly meet all that. I'm curious whether my numbers
are typical, lower than normal or higher than normal.

Thanks...Phil

 

Phil, Is your vehicle having a problem or do you just have to much time on
your hands?

Killing time while waiting for the cooling system to cool off in between
drains and re-fills.

Thanks anyway Glenn. Just a gut feel, but they 'looked good' to me too
based on experience from many years ago. I wouldn't expect many average
users to know or ever need to know what the compression in their engines is.

That's why I was wondering if you had a problem...I still think you have to
much time on your hand. Just keep the oil changed and you wont need to worry

 

You're trying to bait me into making more Jiffy Lube remarks aren't you!
