Compression Test How-To
Just want to add this for people who have IXs, the above values are for VIIIs ONLY!
I did a compression test today on my IX and my heart sank because I got 140-150-150-140...until I did some searching. Apparently on the IXs the compression thresholds are waaaaay different.
The standard is 145
The minimum is 92 (you read that right, 92!)
Please add this to the OP if possible, it'll probably save a lot of IX guys a heart attack.

Just did a compression test today. Car has stock block and stock head with the exception of 272 cams. None of the other mods I have would change the outcome.
