Compression Check Done (archive)

Well... I just got done with the compression check on the engine. The results were as follows:

Cyl #1 155 psi
Cyl #2 158 psi
Cyl #3 150 psi
Cyl #4 150 psi

Anywho.... any thoughts as to how good these results are for an M10 with over 200k on the clock?

I am feeling better now about the valves... and I am starting to believe more in the timing and fuel/air mixture area. I can more confidently say, that the car IS NOT misfiring under load. It feels as though the timing is going up and down. More of an unever waiver in the power band. Any thoughts? Hows the compression look?

All I can say is SHEEW!!! I did not want to spend another chunk of change on a reman head. Thanks in advance.

Matt
