Here's my 2 yen on vacuum and compression numbers on a rebuild or used motor. To many variables to make a good judgment on the condition of the motor. I.E. port size, how much pre mix, cranking rpm, housing condition, timing, and many other things. As long as the motor starts easy and runs good when tuned properly the motor is good. Getting a base vacuum reading and compression numbers after a few heat cycles are only for reference later if something seems wrong.



A "large" side port motor idle solid at 820 rpms, sounds like it's running good.

chuck.

My stock S5 N/A at 750RPM with various exterior engine modifications pulls 20Hg.



Reading these numbers, I'm wondering if my gauge is off? :O
