Default B18a1 Crx low compression numbers wtf!?

So I tested the engine with an autozone compression tester and did what I had to do to not mess up the ignition and fry anything and read 90ish psi all across. But how is that damn possible when I run it against over DA teggys I kick their ***. And I use it as a DD.? any help please??

Check your valve lash? Had a CRX come by last week and it was 20psi across. Didnt smoke so I check that, they were way to tight somehow, redid the lash and fired right up.

Seriously, check valve lash. My B16 CRX had 115psi in cylinder 3, i readjusted the valve lash and now its 146.
