Default compression test (part 2)

okay people of honda tech here it goes. i have been saving up to buy the endyn head and thought that it would be a good ideal to check the compression since its been about 2 or 3 weeks since the last time ive done it and i found that i had a bent valve from doing a leak down test also. before it was this from left to right. 120, 170, 170, 170. or something in that manner. since then i have added some valve cleaner made by cheveron......................

I did this recent one on sunday and it was the strangest ****. 180 on all four cylinders. i did like 3 times and the same each time. What do you all think, carbon build up on the valves. and do you all think it is still a good idea to pull the head and check the valves anyways. you know how that **** is though, dont fix it if its not broken. thanks guys. just need some more opinions.

Yeah i was there with Anthony through all the compression test, It was low 120 like he said, and it wasn't running to par, He added some type of system cleaner and it now reads 180 Anyone have an explanation?

Bump for an answer.

The leak down test showed that it was exhuast valves and before he could pull the head all is good now.

mostly likely carbon buildup most of the cleaners on the market are there to remove carbon deposit and clean the intake and exhaust valves as well as the piston domes
