Hello, can anyone help with what an acceptable compression level would be for this diesel engine please?
Been searching the net and engine manuals and can find values for petrol engines but not diesel. Understand they should ideally be within a 10% range across the cylinders, but nothing that indicates what would be considered a 'good' or acceptable reading for diesel.
Thanks!

I’m not sure myself but would be interested to know too as I’ve just rebuilt my diesel

Sorry, hadn't spotted that there was a post response...must try harder!
Still haven't been able to find out, I'm afraid, will let you know if I do.
Took the plunge and stripped and rebuilt the engine too, it's running like a swiss watch now
