Compression check....
 
What is a good reading for a compression test on a D16Y8 engine? I let mine crank about five or six tmes and then took the reading. All the clyniders read around 150 psi. I think this is good, but woud like to know for sure.

I had to run the checks because I was concerned about the engine power. Right now, if I put the front tires at the bottom of a set of car ramps, the car will not pull itself up the ramps. I have to get a three foot run at the ramps, in order to get it up on them.

There is a possiblity the transmission isn't shifting into low gear, but that is yet to be determined.
