as frank said, hot...maybe drive the car for 15 or so mins, then check compression on the cylinders..good #s are 165-175 psi on a late 80s tr..
good luck..

You always perform a compression test after the engine has been brought up to operating temp.. |

I want to do an engine compression test on my car. Is it best to do this with the engine cold, or warm?
I know that the actual compression is not as important as is the difference between cylinders. Relatively speaking, then, it shouldn't make a difference, either cold or warm......or am I missing something?
Thanks. |
