Hi guys I posted a while back that I did a mtx 3.2 swap and car started overheating..I was planing on fixing but found a 93 atx parts car..old motor I got one compression of 80 all the way up to 150 all different besides 2 that were 120..parts car motor tested and all were right around 160 to 165 what is compression supossed to be on the 3.2??? Also, the parts car is ATX and trans does not work at all but still has fluid that doesn't look all that bad..there is nothing leaking. Is there something that would cause this or is the trans junk?

it doesn't particularly matter what the numbers are, since everyone's gauge is not calibrated perfectly, etc.

what you care about is that they are all within a 15% window (10% is excellent) so 160-165 is great.
