Your rings are just fine, that is the correct compression for an LS due to it having a 9.2:1(i believe) compression ratio.

My b16a had 170-190 across, but that was because b16's have 10.2:1 compression.

My LS Vtec motor has 8.5:1 and when I do a compression check it gets 120psi across all 4 cylinders.

umm....i thought that the place that sold me the motor said something about 200-205 on all cylinders?

i was thinking the same thing about hte CR...the ZC/D15/LS all have about the same CR...so same on the compression test then!

I assume your opening up the throttle when your doing the compression test?
