Could someone save me some searching & provide me with the 'ideal' cylinder compression figures for a healthy/good 20VT engine?, & figures to be concerned about wink

I'm currently looking to buy a coupe & will certainly be dong a comp test on the one I choose to buy - before I buy it!. it's after a collossal mistake I made a bit ago when buying a car (although it wasn't a coupe!).



Thanks in advance

Jamie

Its the difference betwen each cylinder that counts really, I think a value around the 150 psi mark is ok, you just dont want a big difference between each one.
