Hello I will help you with your question,

 

The engine is working against the compression pressure so it is the same force needed for any 4 cylinder engine. The gearing of the starter drive to the diameter of the flywheel and the size of the starter motor will determine what current is necessary to turn the engine.

 

In this case it is about 75 cranking amps but there is a lot of variation due to engine condition and temperature.

 

Let em know how i can help you with this

 

Thank you
