Default 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
