Did a compression test today, does this sound okay??
D16Z6 w/ 100 K miles
all four cylinders are around 150
it was tested with a hot - warm motor..
i did it around 15 mins after the car shut down
does this sound good??
it scared the sht out of me when i saw 150
coz i used to have around 175... then i realized that I am doing on a hot motor..
when i got 175, it was a cold motor, did it in the morning..
does 150 in a hot motor sound alright ??

...or for a simple quick & dirty test, you can try the old wet compression test. Put a bit of oil in each cylinder before you crank the engine, and look for a compression spike & then drop. This would indicate a poor seal between the rings and cylinder walls, which was momentarily sealed by oil.
