Hi out there,

I would like to know what normal readings would be for a 4.0 liter V8 TVR Chimaera.

Cheers,

Paul

Anything over 170 would be nice and healthy.

My high compression 4.6 was between 165 and 170. I think the standard TVR 4.0 may be slightly lower compression so I wouldn't be surprised to see slightly lower figures. The most important thing is that all the cylinders are consistent to within 10% or so.

Agree 150+ and all within 10% of each other would not concern me.
