Jamesd94 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Was wondering could anyone help me please im looking for a replacement 4efte and I've found one and the guy who's selling it said the compression test read 70psi with every cylinder, does anyone know whether this is good or bad? Can't really get a straight answer. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mk3 silver gt Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 That's abit low bud shud be around at 150+ psi across all cylinders, If were you I'd stay clear of that probaly last 5mins with that compression. That's my opinion tho Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chris Green Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) Different kettle of fish from a FTE, but mine was 210ish. Even still, should be around 14bar from what I can remember. Edited December 17, 2013 by chrisgreen1993 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris_GlanzaV98 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Inremember mines was between 140/150 when i done it They are the sort of figures you should be looking for on a standard 4e anything between 140/160 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

turbo Grant Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 They are the same engine. Stronger in some cases. Just use the sensors off your original engine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EPnick22 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 put it this way, when my piston ringlands went, from piston 1 - 4 they read 120psi, 70psi, 90psi, 110psi. All ringlands were cracked besides the first piston lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
