[W126 Coupe] Compression Check

[Mike Ramay]

Sounds like a bad engine to me - too much disparity in the pressure
readings. You need an LS6 and a 4L60E to put in there now.

 

 

 

OK, the truth - you're fine. Usually 5-7 pound difference in readings are
normal. 170 pounds for a "low" is quite good.
