Cylinder pressures for a 3200

[Ian H]

Hi Chaps
I was just wondering if anyone knew what the correct cylinder pressures should be when cranking a warm 3200 engine on the starter?
I know the compression ratio is 8:1, but was trying to get a value to check the target pressure against a compression tester.
Also what would an acceptable range/variation be across the cylinders?
Many thanks
Ian

Is it not in the workshop manual?

Why, do you have a problem Ian...whatever they are they need to be the same more are less across all eight cylinders

Equality is the key - a serious drop in one or more indicates a whole host of problems, from dropped valves to head gasket failure
