Default 418W compression reading?
Does anyone out there have any idea how many lbs./inch to expect from a 418 stroker with about 10.3 to 1 static compression?
I just wanted to check mine to make sure I did not have any negative lash in the valve rocker adjustments. I do not have a leak down tester but I do have a compression guage.
Any ideas on what's in the ballpark to be expected? 185 to 200?
Who has or builds a similar set-up (408.418,427 stroker with about 10 to 1 and a moderately agressive street performance cam) and knows their readings?
