Re: did a compression test today

Those are poor, albeit balanced, compression readings for a B16. Unless you've dropped the CR a LOT, that is.

Regardless, I'd run it.

Re: did a compression test today

those numbers are pretty even, possibly dropped the comp ratio? maybe you've got a bad compression tester. did you do it when the car was warm?

agree, low compsression numbers if stock b16. just rape it until the rings called it a day and rebuild with forged internals.

Re: did a compression test today

Yeah, did you lower the comp. ??
Did you open the throttle all the way?
Car fully warmed?
How many times did you crank it over? Should be crank untill it stops, but it should build up quickly.
