273 Compression Test Results

Maybe that 140-150 number is for the HiPo 273, believe my manual at home says around
120 for both motors is OK. If I had to guess, since you said you can hear air coming out of the valve is that when you pull your heads the valves will be razor blade thin on the
edges. Thought you said earlier that you had a stock 273 and not the HiPo. Too bad you
don't live up around Mass, I also have a 318 out of a 84 Dodge truck that supposedly has
10k on a rebuild that I would let you have for cheap. Did a compression test on it and it's around 150 on all 8. I'd be using it but picked up a 360 afterwards and from what I read, everyone likes that one better. Best thing about a 318 is that nobody can tell it from a 273 unless the look at the number on the block.
