Default Compression Tested Today :(

It was a normal day nothing out of the ordinary ,so I thought, and it was turning out to be a good evening. GO home and realize *hey I hav not done a compression test on my car, 92 prelude, for 3 months*

Soooo. I went out and found 155-160-60-160. I was shocked

Soooo.I poured a little motor oil in bad cyclinder and it went up 5 psi.

Should 5psi really matter or should I be looking for a bent valve ?

Soooo....<--still in shock

sounds like a burnt valve or could be a head gasket...if it were the piston rings, the number woulda gone up a lot more than 5 psi when you poured oil in it.

everything happens for a reason...think of it as a good time to upgrade

Do a cylinder leakdown test to find out where you are loosing compression from.
