97 civic hatch compression problems
So i have an ej7 honda civic hatchback with a mini me that is b15b1 bottom end and z6 top end. it stopped running but was getting fuel and spark so my next thought was check compression. i hooked up the compression tester and these were my results:
Cylinder #1- 88
Cylinder #2- 66
Cylinder #3- 62
Cylinder #4- 56
This made me think the head is cracked or warped but my friend is adament that the head isn't the problem, any ideas?

Re: 97 civic hatch compression problems
the results from the compression test are in the post, havent done leakdown test and it is throwing CEL codes but for sensors i dont have hooked up at the moment because they are ones non vital to the car running such as speedo, O2 ect..

Reflex on the compression test. Those things might have contributed to your current situation. Especially not having an O2 hooked up.

Re: 97 civic hatch compression problems
oh wait no, the sensors were unplugged after i did the compression text cuz they were in the way while we were workin on the car, they were all plugged in during the compression test. im just thinkin cracked or warped head cuz the compression decreases ar you move towards the left of the head and im thinking the person that i bought the head off when they took the head off their block i dont think the took the head bolts off in sequence
