My Compression... D16a6
 
205 205 205 205... and get this, the motor has 179,000 miles on it. Would the temperature have an effect on this (it was about ~70)?

I'm happy with the fact that there's no variations between cylinders, but the #'s seem a bit high. I thought it may have been a little carbon buildup, but I'm not so sure. This is a daily driver and it's always being used (no hard abuse), and the turbo is going on very soon after ghettodyne makes its way out, or I decide on Zdyne because I can get impatient sometimes (then sell it after ghettodyne comes out :)).

Most ZC's that are imported over normally run about 160 in each cylinder. Let me know what y'all think
