d15b compression? what should it be, or at least what is decent
I have searched but did not find any post stating what "good"ompression numbers should be for a Civic DX with 16 valve d15b engine. I purchased a cheap compression guage and I am reading about 120psi on all 4 cylinders. Sounds low to me. I had a new head gasket, vavle job and pistons rings put in about 6 months ago.
