Your compression guage might be off, can you do another test with someone else's gauge?

Mine was 230,230,225,230

does not matter just as long as the numbers are about the same thats the most important thing.

Re: did compression test, seem high??? (Bill Hook)

for accurate results, you must perform the test with wide open throttle at normal operating temperature

Nope your numbers are fine.

Rule of thumb:

When your numbers are not consisent, then there may be a problem, or if the numbers are way off there's a problem.
GSR's should be 200+ althe way across.

your motor is shot

on a 97 JDM ITR motor no **** 270 psi all day long. I couldnt believe it. I had a gsr motor with a b16 head with JUn IIIs and ctr pistons i would hit way past 300 psi in every cylinders. I even broke two testers

If you put oil in and your compression raises....means your piston rings are losing compression.
