150,xxx miles this engine good??
Hey Ht I did a compression test on a k20a2 with 150,xxx miles on it and the numbers i got were 150/149/150/149 my question is if thats normal for how many miles it has. The helms book says minimum 135 and average is something like 185. Looked around but couldn't find exactly the answer to my question if some one could show me where or help me out i would really appreciate it thanx

I drove two RSX type-s last week one with 165,000 and one with 160,000 and they both had a very strong engine. But it was too many miles for me to be confident in the purchase, but I am sure that they weren't ready to break down soon.
