Default did a compression test on my gsr today and the results were low.

90's all across.......i motor starts and runs fine, so i was wondering if the motor was bad with bad rings would it start at all and run?

i think so too...its the cheap **** from auto zone.....what would you recommend me doing when i do the compression test.... that **** runs like a charm....it smoke a lilttle bit here and there but im guessing its the valve seal. it doesn't smoke like all the time.

it was a messed up gauge that gave such a low reading... 180 and 190 all across....i guess all i need is to send out my head and change all the seals..
