Compression

Post by AngryofMayfair »

My engine is suppose to have been completely rebuilt, however, I found it a bit sluggish when on flat open roads so I did a compression test and found I have 120psi across all three cylinders.
Is that good or not?
Thanks

It's a little lower than I like to see but with a rebuilt motor, it take time for rings to bed in and seal properly.
