Hey Cubby,

Your readings show the un-reliability of gauge measurements. There are so many variables involved, that the actual numerical readings are nearly meaningless, except for comparison. The important thing is: How close are your readings to each other. Yours look very good. Under different circumstances, another test by a different person with different equipment might produce readings in the ~90# range. They would, however, still be close to each other, and also indicate a healthy engine.

Another thing to think about...higher than normal readings can, in addition to differences in equipment, be an indication of carbon buildup.
