* 1996-2005: The Ecotec 2.2L
* 2006-2010: The Ecotec 2.4L (sometimes called the 2.2L)
* Condition and Wear: The compression reading will vary depending on the overall condition of the engine. A brand new engine will have different readings than one with a significant amount of wear and tear.
How to Find Your Compression Specs:
1. Consult Your Owner's Manual: The most reliable source will be the owner's manual for your specific vehicle.
2. Refer to a Repair Manual: Repair manuals for your particular engine will provide the correct compression specifications.
3. Contact a Mechanic: A qualified mechanic can provide you with the correct compression specifications based on your vehicle's make, model, and year.
General Information:
* Compression readings are measured in PSI (pounds per square inch).
* A healthy engine typically has compression readings that are within a certain range.
* Lower compression readings can indicate issues with the engine, such as worn piston rings, valve problems, or a blown head gasket.
Important Note: If you are concerned about your engine's compression, it is best to have it checked by a qualified mechanic.
