Depends on the year, cam, compression ratio. engine warm, 130-165psi, long duration lowers psi, overlap increases psi., solid cam with same duration would be higher than hyd. due to increased valve rate. All reading should be +/- 10%
the 440 engine had 375 horse.
Compression on a stock 440 engine typically ranges from 8.5:1 to 10.5:1, depending on the specific model and year. Higher compression ratios can improve performance and efficiency but may require premium fuel to prevent engine knocking. Modifications such as aftermarket pistons or cylinder head work can further increase compression, but they also necessitate careful tuning and consideration of fuel quality. Always ensure that any changes maintain engine reliability and longevity.
compression ratio is 6:5.1 the compression test should read 120 pounds give or take. hope this helps.
440 engine or the model 440 dodge?
The compression for a 1996 Arctic Cat 440 snowmobile typically ranges from 120 to 130 psi (pounds per square inch) when the engine is in good condition. It's important to check the manufacturer's specifications for your specific model and ensure the engine is properly warmed up and using the correct testing procedures for accurate readings. If the compression is significantly below this range, it may indicate issues such as worn piston rings or cylinder damage. Regular maintenance can help keep the engine in optimal condition.
When the number one cylinder is at top dead center (TDC) on a 440 Chrysler engine, the rotor button should be positioned pointing directly at the number one spark plug terminal on the distributor cap. This alignment ensures that the ignition system fires the correct cylinder at the right time, facilitating optimal engine performance. Additionally, it's important to ensure that the engine is on the compression stroke, not the exhaust stroke, when checking this alignment.

All GTX's produced had the 440 engine.
All the cylinders should be within 10% from the lowest reading to the highest reading for a healthy engine.
To test cylinder compression on a diesel engine, the glow plugs or injectors should be removed. This allows access to the combustion chamber for the compression test gauge. Removing these components ensures that the engine can turn over freely without interference during the test.
Should be 110 PSI
