eehhhh, it really depends on a lot of factors, especially which motor we're talking about. For the motor in question, yes 180 is a good reading. But you can't just say 180 is good for all stock motors.

At any rate, OP, did you follow the DIY here? Did you make sure to keep the throttle completely open when testing?

 

Problem solved!

I removed my top end and after investigating found my cylinder full of oil and antifreeze.Turns out I blow my head gasket, hence the reason i was doing a compression test in the first place.

 

yeah that'll do it haha glad you got it figured out, better make sure the head is still in level so you dont blow another one...

 

bend any valves since you cant compress fluids?

 

wouldn't suprise me if the headgasket was starting to go, the compression test alone probably blew it if that were the case
