i did a compression test on my b17a1
heres what i got: #1- 225, #2 220, # 3- 220 # 4- 220
the standard compression is 180. is having a high compression bad?
my engine idles high and i just replaced the head gasket. theres also white smoke from the exhuast. coolant is leaking in somewhere i guess. Could i have miss aligned the head gasket?

 

Compression numbers look good.

The headgasket can only go on correctly one way..

What type of gasket did you use?

Did you torque the head studs properly?

 

yes, and correctly also. but not so sure about the camshaft caps.
