   because obviously 14 is high , as you can see on a gauge! if you had problems with pistons gaskets warped cracked head ect,, then obviously all the cylinders wouldn't read the same some or 1 would be lower . that's why im happy because they all read the same i think they are about right not 100%

   then its meant to be 15 but then ive dropped 0.8 in pressure on a 14year old engine with 105,000 i think thats quite good in my eyes , all cylinders wont be down and read the exact same pressure it would be a bit of a coincidence , i think id no if i had a problem with all my cylinders.
