looks good

don't worry about if someone pops in and says the #s are low or anything like that...
each compression gauge will read differently

consistency is the key

I just ran mine yesterday...

Cylinder 1 - 124
Cylidner 2 - 245
Cylidner 3 - 12
Cylinder 4 - 227

Is this bad?

... HAHAHAHHA, gotcha.

Wish I could have seen the look on some of your faces, haha... Sorry, I'm easily amused.

Those numbers look good, like stated, consistancy is key.

you laugh, someone i know decided to do a bolt on turbo kit with a generic map on an ECU, on a B16A2 civic.


after a week of use his compression numbers didn't look much different to those magical numbers you made up, just in a different order

It has a fitting that screws into your spark plug hole, then a rubber hose, then a gauge... Pretty simple device.
