Re: [Chrysler300] Compression pressure on 300H





Thank you John, great data point-was that for a 300J then? or for all the 413's do you know?

My 1963 "MOTOR AUTO REPAIR MANUAL" shows in tune up section re Imperial Chrysler etc section, that it should be 165lbs cranking pressure for 300H,

Jim,
Not necessarily. 
I am about to go through an objective diagnostic of what is wrong with my engine. 
One data point I don't have is what compression an H engine in good condition will have. 
I do not suspect low compression due to wear , but want to compare it to someone who is satisfied with how their stock H is running. This engine has ca. 40,000 miles on it SMOH. 

My theory is if my compression compares favoarbly with another car with a satisfied owner, I'll focus elsewhere,

Numbers on your old engine will help if they indicate condition an ou could comment, e.g., 120-120-110-90 eg,  hard to start, no power, ran like crap etc.

As a matter of general interest, after the last round of discussions regarding how awful our gasoline is etc., I siphoned out about 5 gallons of year old+ gasoline and put 2 gallons of fresh gasoline. Made discernible difference.

I can dig out the numbers on mine, but the 413 is original with 126,000 miles on it, and never out of car.  They were taken about 1000 miles ago.  Do you want numbers on my old engine?

Does anyone with a good running 300H know what actual compression pressure they measure when they do a compression test?
(all plugs out)

Thanks,
