doesnt have to be half though, if you are doing it all the same for each cylinder and you have two that are much lower than the others, that indicates there is an issue. regardless of specs

****!


Today i do new test with partner.


I was on under the hood with gauge.


4x 160psi and 2x 165psi. Great results i think?

Third times i repeated test and watched that same result and compression rise every time.


First compression test with myself were some kind of botching?


Maybe gauge which was on valve cover etc was moving and results go bad.



Im sure that it didnt repair itself

Car problems are frustrating no doubt, but could you please cut back on the profanity in your posts? Thanks.

Nice to hear!


How about, should i use 95 oktane instead of 92 becouse compressions are that high?

No, only use higher octane if your under boosted conditions, like a turbo or supercharger. OR if your running a 10:1 or higher race engine.
