I would like to inform you that I own the only MGC in Egypt it has a chassis No. 533 and engine serial No. 485 roadster convertible color English racing green . Please could you let me know what would be an optimum hot cranking pressure test values to determine an engine healthy conditions ? Thank you
Comment by Shaun Holmes at 2012-03-19 07:27:56
Hot would be around 40-50 at 2000-4000 rpm idle 20psi can be lower if very hot, would suggest cleaning oil cooler.
Comment by Megalli Elkommos at 2012-03-20 01:10:23
Mr Shaun Holmes
Thank you so much for your kind reply ,but what I meant in my was question was the compression test pressure while engine hot at normal working temperature spark plugs removed , throttle fully opened and cranking the engine at max possible rate . IO would appreciate a reply to determine the quality range of my engine Thank you so much Megalli 533
Comment by Skye Nott at 2012-03-26 00:10:56
Megalli, you would probably be better asking your question in our MGC Forum here:
