Default Low Compression Test Results

Motor:

B18C 84mm 9:1.

Results:

#1: 110
#2: 110
#3: 100
#4: 120.

Car runs fine. Valves are loud, and need to be adjusted. Gas sucks. less than 200 miles a tank.

why low #'s?

its a little odd that all your numbers are so low, are you sure you conducted the test correctly?

Thats what i was thinking also. Engine has to be warm due to expantion,take out all plugs first,open up throttle plate 100%,5 cranks,make shure batt has full charge or hook it up to a charger.

when i do mine, i pull them all out.
it also depends if your car is warm or not
and if your pusshing the gas pedal all the way down

i push pedall all the way down, (after the car has been driven a little)
then crank few times.
