Hi on a navigator can anyone tell me what the compression pressure should on a rebuilt engine in PSI

Thanks

Not sure but pressure test it as it is, and compare one barrel to the other, then add some oil through each plug hole, if you get a temp uplift in pressure the there is a pressure leak between piston and barrel. Either wear or damage (prob ring) I think you said that the top end has been overhauled, so presumably you know the valves are ok?
