D20A-6 Compression question…

OVERTORQUED · 2020-10-15 12:00

Hi all- I ran a compression check from the glow plug hole and it was 200. Shouldn’t this be around 900 or so? Apparently it was run low on oil and was hard starting- lots of black smoke when it did start.

    Correction, meant 400 not 900...

    black smoke generally means excess fuel
