Compression of a stock ITR motor? I may go check a ITR out in NJ
What is the compression of a stock ITR motor supposed to be? I may be going to look at another ITR in NJ and i wanna do a compression test on the engine. Also do you know if we brought it over to an acura dealership if they would check everything out for me for a price. Anyone do this before? Do they put it in writing so if something isn't right or the guy paid them to lie i can go after em?

ok cool, would they go thru it and mark down like scratches or body panels that have been repainted or replaced? Like a THUROUGH job? What about a compression test?
What would Chente do?

Just tell them you want a buyers inspection but you must be specific. Compression test is not a normal inspection item but tell them what you want looked at and they will charge you accordingly. A little money at first may save you a lot later.

Re: (kaj)
There isn't a 'there'. If numbers are consistent, then that's all that matters.
All low consistent numbers = bad gauge, good engine.
All high consistend numbers = good gauge, good engine.
All low inconsistent numbers = bad.
All high inconsistent numbers = bad.
That's the *general* rule I use when doing comp tests.
When it comes to actually DIAGNOSIS after a compression test.. you do a cylinder leak down.
Compression tests are not always acurate. They do not tell you what is wrong with your engine. They do nothing but give you a general *IDEA* of good/bad or ok.
When you do a compression test the engine MUST be at operating temp. Not warm. Not cold. You do it immediately following shutoff.
Throttle open.
All plugs removed.
6 or 8 cranks on each cylinder. Not 6 here, 8 there. The same on each cylinder.
Dry compression tests are worthless and usually innacurate.
I hope this info reaches people in searches.. because this topic has high frequency here.
