    I'm in the process of purchasing a low mileage(14k) 1999 F1 355. I am having it inspected including a compression/PPI and leakdown test to be performed by a ferrari dealer next week. What would be an acceptable number/range for the cylinders and leak down percentage?

    I'm no expert, but it's my understanding the compression is good as long as the numbers are consitent in all clyinders.

    IIRC I believe compression should be in the 180-200 range and leakdown should be no more than 10%.
    Like Greg said, consistency across all cylinders is the key.
