Compression results on 2001 2.7L V6 (Intrepid)

Anyone have any compression test numbers on a 2.7 L V6 they can compare
with these ones. I did the test this afternoon after discovering my
long lost compression tester (missing for 20 years).

Engine has 237,000 Km ( 147K miles ). Engine was at full operating temp.

From the front :
Left Side Right Side

187 185
175 183
185 175

Manual says 100 psi minimum; no more than 25% variation.
These numbers certainly meet all that. I'm curious whether my numbers
are typical, lower than normal or higher than normal.

Thanks...Phil

Phil, Is your vehicle having a problem or do you just have to much time on
your hands?

Killing time while waiting for the cooling system to cool off in between
drains and re-fills.

Thanks anyway Glenn. Just a gut feel, but they 'looked good' to me too
based on experience from many years ago. I wouldn't expect many average
users to know or ever need to know what the compression in their engines is.

That's why I was wondering if you had a problem...I still think you have to
much time on your hand. Just keep the oil changed and you wont need to worry
