Default Compression question??

Ok, Tonight I finally got my B16 into my car. Before getting the axles and everything else hooked up, I decided to do a comp test. The motor has not been run in two weeks at least. 1-120 2-50 3-90 4-90 Thinking the valves are too tight I slightly loosed the intake valves and got this 1-110 2-110 3-50 4-120 Any help would be great!! The guy before me had diffrent cams in it. He had skunk 2s. It has full ITR valvetrain and ITR cams!!

The motor has not been run in two weeks at least. I know that the compression would be accurate warm, but I just wanted to get a baseline. If the valves were too tight could this affect compression. The owner b4 me had diffrent cams.

UPDATE: I got my moter to run after some stupid little problems. After I let it run for about 10 min i rechecked the compression and it was 210 across the board!!

Good deal! I fugured the valves and rings had to seat themselves a little better.

I went through a simaler thing with my four-wheeler and almost bought a new engine because of it. Turns out you have to do a compression test at WOT on a 4-wheeler. It made all the difference in the world...
