apologies, it probably read 60psi with the exhaust push-rod in, and 120psi removed......it was a few years ago now, havent checked one for ages as have come to the conclusion that both cylinder pressure tests and leak-down testa are a waste of time, either dyno or track test is the only way to deduce problems, as the bore distorts significantly once the engine is running hard after about 10 dyno pulls.....I have an engine that gives a lovely leak-down test, but on the dyno it loses 0.2hp after 10 dyno pulls.....not good
