Re: Normal compression question.
My first, and usually only, answer is, what does your TM say when you read it?
But I got hate mail for asking that from guys who don't want to read, so, in TM9-8012, page 74; 135, min 100.

Re: Normal compression question.
Same as the other L-134's. Below 100 or more then a 10 - 15 psi difference between cylinders check your valve adjustment and start thinking about a rebuild.

Re: Normal compression question.
Thanks for the help. As for the TM, I would have checked if I had one. This is my friend M38 and he does have one but can't seem to find it...Rob
