After re-reading the post it looks like I'm looking for torque with the ft/lbs......

I got the info I was looking for...it's 140 lbs.

Thanks !!

You asked for Compression, but the answer you got was compression ratio

Keith, closing the deal on a 525 boat...and not a 342!!
Compression and leak down was excellent, scan of engines was excellent, deposit accepted and contract signed.
Can't wait for spring!!
