performed compression test. how are the results?
I have a Sohc zc 1.6 engine in my civic with about 50k on it. i performed the compression test today and these were the results: 200-195-200-197. the car is all stock, are these numbers good? too high?? all others i have seen were a lot lower. i believe these results are great so i will most likely attempt to turbo it this summer!

That's about as good as you can ask for on a used engine!
They may be higher than others I've seen, but this is usually because of the gauge.
What you want to look for is consistency; and you've got it. So be proud!
