1996 LT1 Compression Test

Sep 20, 2006 0 Replies

Does anyone know what the stock compression readings should be on a



1996 z28 Camaro with an LT1? My readings are as follows:


1=190



2=190
3=190
4=240
5=195
6=190
7=190
8=190

Cylinder 3 had been missing and I am replacing all the springs and will probably replace the valve seals as well, but I am wondering if anyone knows A) if these readings are within spec and B) why cylinder 4 has such high compression. Carbon buildup on the piston? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,


-Nathaniel
