For a 4-cylinder MerCruiser engine, ideal compression values typically range from 140 to 160 psi per cylinder. However, it's important to ensure that all cylinders are within 10-15% of each other for optimal performance. If readings are significantly lower, it could indicate issues such as worn piston rings, valve problems, or head gasket leaks. Always refer to the specific engine model's service manual for precise specifications and guidelines.

How much do you gap the points on a 1966 120 hp 4 cylinder mercruiser?
For a 1966 120 hp 4-cylinder MerCruiser engine, the spark plug gap should typically be set between 0.030 to 0.035 inches. It's important to check the specific service manual for your engine model, as there can be slight variations. Always ensure that the gap is consistent for optimal engine performance.

What are the Torque specs 1977 mercruiser 4-cylinder Chevy rod bearing and main bearing?
The rod bearing torque spec from mercruiser is 45 lb there is no spec that i can find for the main bearing caps.
How many compression strokes during a compression test?
3 - 4 per cylinder.
How many compression strokes are there in one revolution of a 4 stroke for a 6 cylinder engine?
In a 4-stroke engine, there is one compression stroke for every two revolutions of the crankshaft. Since a 6-cylinder engine has six cylinders, each cylinder will have one compression stroke every two revolutions. Therefore, in one revolution of a 6-cylinder 4-stroke engine, there will be 3 compression strokes.
What should the cylinder compression pressure be in a 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer ES 4 cylinder 2.0L L4 engine?
Around 230psi. Minimum is 170psi. I have the same exact car.

What would be wrong with a Chevy s10 after changing timing chain the timing is right on but runs rough no compression in cylinder 4?
The year and engine size would help but you may have a bent valve or bent pushrod for # 4 cylinder if that is the only cylinder that has 0 for compression.
Possible causes for over heating of 1994 Toyota 4-runner?
A compression check and cylinder leak-down test should tell you the condition of your engine.
What should compression be 2004 4 stroke mercury?
For a 2004 four-stroke Mercury outboard engine, the compression should typically be around 120 to 150 psi per cylinder, depending on the specific model. It's essential to ensure that the compression readings are consistent across all cylinders, ideally within 10% of each other. If compression is significantly lower in any cylinder, it can indicate issues such as worn rings or valve problems. Regular maintenance and checks can help maintain optimal engine performance.
Where does the middle spark wire go from distributer?
Firing order is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2. Move #1 cylinder to where piston is up, and on the compression stroke (TDC). Easiest way to do this is with a compression tester on the #1 cylinder - rotor cap OFF. When you see the pressure build...you're on the compression stroke. The rotor cap should be at the #1 cylinder firing position...simply re-install the rotor cap at this time - noting which button is #1. Starting at #1 install the wire for the #1 cylinder onto the rotor cap...the next button (clockwise) on the cap should correlate to #8; the third button on the rotor cap is, cylinder #4..and so on. work your way around the rotor cap until you have all 8 cylinder wires in place...ignition coil wire in the middle button. Engine should start and run.
