mrbudge Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 We are having a debate here about what is good compression for a 6.0l. What are you guys finding on a healthy engine. Ford is so kind to not give a spec, but I guess they haven't in years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshbuys Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 depends on elevation, when I was in california (near sea level) my readings were normally 400 - 425 psi on a 6.0, now I'm in Wyoming (about 5000 ft above sea level) and my readings are around 350 psi on a good engine.

DamageINC Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Yeah, elevation has a drastic effect on this reading. Out by me in the Chicago area, we usually see about 400psi on the button. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Pretty much at sea level here. Did one today. 1 cyl at 260 7 cyls at 280 1 cyl at 80. I'd say she's junk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Clayton Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I'd say you need to get yourself another compression tester there my friend, 'cause 6.0L's hardly ever breakdown ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
