Did a compression test today
Well i did a compression test today on my 91 crxsi w/b16 and the results are
180-175-190-180....im planning to turbo it in the near future and, i already started buying stuff for it (intercooler/boostgauge/DIYlogmanifold) so im wondering if my engine is worth turboing right now or should i wait and rebuild it...
and 1 more ? when i was removing the spark plugs caps there was a lil bit of oil on them so i was thinking that maybe the valve cover gaskit was leaking?
so any help would be nice thanks...

yeah those look good enough to boost. i did a comp test on my "high" compression gsr not too long ago. the compression is around 11.7:1 and the head is milled .040 so i was told it should be around 230-250psi in each. my results were 160- 173- 184- 197. thought it was funny how they were all diferant and ho wit went up in compression as i went down.
boost that bitch.
boost that bitch.

well i think the motor has around 10000miles and 20000 miles on the car itself.... the older guy that i bought from him said when he got the motor it had any where from 40-60 thousands miles and i have had it for 3 years..
