Hey guys. i was wondering if anyone knows what the cylinder compression should be on the ht1400. i think i might have a blown head gasket so i'm doing a compression test to see. so far i've done the front four cylinders and the results don't seem too promissing. i got between 150 and 190 kPa across the cylinders i've done but i thought that seemed like a pretty wide range, yet it doesn't seem like enough to be a head gasket. but i don't really know so any help here is greatly appreciated. thanks a lot!

Compression test is not conclusive. Get each cylinder to TDC and use shop air to pressurize the cylinder to 120 psi and let it set for 20-30 min. see if it holds pressure.
