I've got a 98 gs with 87k miles, and i run 8 psi daily. I went to my shop yesterday to get a compression test done. To me, my numbers look a bit high, and I'm wondering if my shop is bs-ing me.
205 psi cyl 1, 200 psi cyl 2, 200 psi cyl3, 205 psi cyl 4
I run 8 psi daily with zero problems. My engine runs really great, and I baby it all the time, so I didn't think the numbers would come back bad, but I didn't expect them to come back higher than nominal. Any input's appreciated.

 

looks good to me

 

Those are the numbers you want.

 

If you don't believe them, you could always compression check it yourself. Compression testers are not that expensive, and it is by no means a hard test to perform.

 

Looks good to me man. Tell your mechanic he's shot out.

Unless you're pushing close to 320psi a cylinder, I dont think you have anything to worry about.

 

Those are awesome numbers, esp for a boosted B18B! You have nothing to worry about.
