Default Engine compression test

Anyone know what the compression is for L67 */C should read? My bro has a compresison tester.. and I'd like to see what it should be.. and whats tolerable

This will help me decide in the long run to either build the engine up or swap it out for a series III

Don't know off by heart...somewhere around 150 to 165 psi. That'* not maybe the most important thing though, the cylinders should be with 10% of each other.

Cheers,

Cheers,
that is very true.. but I just liked to know as I had the car sittin for over a year.. and never started (wasn't stored with me) and I was just wondering if from all the rust and crud that it may have worn off some of the cylinder walls and possibly lost compression on all cylinders. Or having compression leaks around the piston down
