If it's in good shape, Then all cylinders should read about 150 LBS. Less is okay as long as all of them have no more then 10 LBS. difference between them.

If the compression is less then 120 LBS. then the engine has valve or pistion ring problems.

To determine the compression stroke on a 350 Chevy engine, first, remove the spark plug from the cylinder you want to check.

This indicates the compression stroke where the air-fuel mixture is being compressed in the cylinder.
