Cylinder compression 96 civic lx 236k miles
I have a 96 civic lx, 5 speed. It has 236k miles. I did a compression test just for the heck of it today and it was 125-149-125-150 on the cylinders. Would this be normal on a motor with this many miles and would it be anything to be concerned about? thanks

it can be normal for some so yes
236k is alot even for a honda, if it hasnt been maintained properly then that would explain the numbers.
but if it starts and runs great i wouldnt worry after all its a honda.
but i would deffinetly keep an eye on her.

ok. it was maintained pretty well. timing belt/ wp changed on time plus normal maintenance and such. I am looking to sell it for $1600 which i thought would be a fair price given the mileage.
