Just did a compression test on my freshy rebuilt gsr motor
160-155-170-165
this is on a gsr block b16 head with wiesco 9.1 pistons with 100 miles on it.
I dont know what to think, maybe its the crappy discount auto tester because sometimes it would fluctuate up or down 5%
And yes I did it WOT with the injectors and the fuse pulled...
Is this good or bad, could it be cause the rings havent fully seated yet?
another thing I noticed was air is pushing out the breather, theres no smoke but I thought the breather sucks in air?

Nothing is official since you only have 100 miles. Drive it hard for another 500 and then do the test again. whatever method you use be extremely consistant. If you crank it over 5 times then do that for every cylinder.

A breather is attached to the valve cover....when you get gases that "blow by" the rings they come out there through a long process. It's totally normal and is even worse on a built engine. My car does it hard-core on the dyno with 26PSI

HighRevn

valves adjustment? May need to readjust after everything breaks in...
Is it using any oil?

HighRevn

just did a adjustment, not eating any oil

Check it again after the dyno. It should be a little more even by then.

Keep a log of your compression test results. And try to always conduct the test the same each time. I found that my compression numbers still rose until the 750~1,000 mile mark.

thanks guys, I appreciate it
