Description of Compression Readings

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

When checking cylinder compression, lowest cylinder's reading must be at least 75% of the highest cylinder's reading. Perform compression test with engine at normal operating temperature, with spark plugs and air cleaner removed, and throttle wide open.
