andy 0 Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 140 is pretty low to be honest. I had 180 to 190 on all of mine, I seem to remember the lowest was 175. There are further tests you can do such as pouring a small amount of oil down the plug hole and seeing if the figure improves significantly. If it does I think you're looking at bore wear.

Geastb 0 Posted June 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 I did do the wet test on a couple of cylinders - seemed to improve the figures so looks like its new engine time! Anyone know how much roughly to have engine bored out to 3 litre? Link to post Share on other sites
