Any1 know the Lowest Compression in a 1g and still start?

I just wanted to know the lowest compression you could have and still start. I have fuel and spark but it won't kick over. Anybody recently do a compression test? Numbers would be appreciated! Thanks Again!

Why don't you tell us what your numbers are instead?

Thats shitty!

In terms of simply starting, when I bought my first DSM it had 120, 120, 80, 0, and it started fine, idled perfectly, and drove fine, slow as all hell, but drove fine.

Well i did the test i got 0 0 0 and um 0. Took the valve cover off and guess what i found? My Intake rockers from one end to the other!

Bent valves.

You weren't kidding all 16!!!!!!!!

Intake Rockers were spread across the head from one side to the other!

I guess i already said that! But im upgrading to 3g lifters, super flo valves, cams ect. Just a little sooner than I wanted too!

When I melted my hg, compression was 95,90,85,80 and it WOULD start but only after hooking up jumper cables and cranking the ignition for close to 5 minutes. Car ran like shit though, would barely even spool my turbo.
