Default 94 del sol/B16 with 165-175 psi cylinder compressions - Is this good?
So I have a 94 del sol with a b-16 and just did a compression test. It came up between 165 and 175 psi. The motor has 243 thousand miles. Is that good compression or what?

Sounds good. I figured with the amount of miles on the motor it would be less then that but I was pretty shocked.

What does holding the throttle WOT do? I know it cancels injectors (well on Fords, atleast).

It gives you an accurate reading plus it fills the cylinders much faster . The last thing you want is numbers all over the place. It is the PROPER way of doing a compression test.

The throttle angle directly affects the cylinder pressure when the intake valves close, so it'll affect your cranking pressure too.
