Compression Test Specs?
Just had the head replaced on my 2012 2.2 Defender and now we are facing a no start condition. The shop checked the compression in all 4 cylinders with the results of 200,250,150, and 110 psi. I tried to find the compression check specs. in the manual but could not locate them. I also searched the forum and found 380-390psi after 8-10 cranks but it was not for the Puma engine. I just wanted to make sure of the correct specs. Thanks.

Those all look very low readings for a 2.2,
You should be seeing anything between 350 - 400psi for a healthy engine!


Why was the head replaced?
Did you do any work to anything else, could it have been over fueling at some point,
I wonder if the Bores and rings are ok?

Which cylinder was reading 110? 80" 80" 86" 88" 90"

Wanted, Forward Control Anything considered.

I wonder if your valves are actually closing? Could the timing for the camshafts be slightly wrong? 1995 300tdi Defender 90 P/UP
