Hi All,
I'm new here, looking at purchasing a 370EC w/ twin 7.4s with ~450hours.
Compression test showed the below:
P
115
115
115
115
115
110
115
115
S
115
115
115
110
105
110
110
115
These seem on the low side to me (would expect 140ish? given the hours?). However they are fairly uniform. My guess is this test was done cold and potentially with a weak port battery.
Any concerns? Is uniformity more important than the actual compression number? Should I have them re run the test hot?
..sorry, I did do a search but found hundreds of topics on this. Thought I would make a fresh one for some quick feedback. It's beyond the end of season here in Chicago and I need to make a fairly quick decision on this boat.
Thanks!
