i just did a compression test and wanted to see why i was burning alot of oil.180,190,185,185 was the compression. the pistons i have right now are JE 10:1 flat tops but since im running a b16 head my comp is around 9.8:1 i would say. do these numbers sound about right? and do u think i should get my head checked out? cause i think i have bad seals

 

Looks sorta consistent to me.

I'm under the impression that you wanna have at least 200 in each cylinder though.

well i know with 10:1 it should be at the 200's but with what would they be at with 9.8:1 or would the .2 not make a difference

 

I think that since you have consistency, you're numbers are probably fine.

 

Those numbers are about dead on with 9.8:1 CR, plus they're all consistent

 

thanks guys i think im going to pull the head and rebuild it.

 

fun stuff, Jerry
