Default 68 GTO Compression
What should compression be on a stock 68 GTO engine YS code?

This is advertised compression. I think I read somewhere that the actual compression ratio was a bit lower, but still over 10.00:1.

Default 68 GTO Compression
I was looking for the psi for a compression test, not the compression ratio. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Pretty sure it's 125-165 range.

I have a 0.30 over YS 400 with stock 16 heads and the 69 069 RAII cam. Typical runs around 150-155 psi. Remember to test when hot.
