I have a 96 civic lx, 5 speed. It has 236k miles. I did a compression test just for the heck of it today and it was 125-149-125-150 on the cylinders. Would this be normal on a motor with this many miles and would it be anything to be concerned about? thanks

 

i would yes based on the miles.
does it run good? burn anything?

 

You're saying yes its normal? Runs great. starts right up and doesn't smoke.

 

anyone else?

 

it can be normal for some so yes
236k is alot even for a honda, if it hasnt been maintained properly then that would explain the numbers.
but if it starts and runs great i wouldnt worry after all its a honda.
but i would deffinetly keep an eye on her.

 

ok. it was maintained pretty well. timing belt/ wp changed on time plus normal maintenance and such. I am looking to sell it for $1600 which i thought would be a fair price given the mileage.

 

yea 16 sounds pretty good to me, if its clean.

 

it is pretty clean. its not perfect but not much rust and not all dented up or anything. Might need a little suspension work. kind of pulls to the right when i let off the gas. Not sure what that would be.
