Hey Ht I did a compression test on a k20a2 with 150,xxx miles on it and the numbers i got were 150/149/150/149 my question is if thats normal for how many miles it has. The helms book says minimum 135 and average is something like 185. Looked around but couldn't find exactly the answer to my question if some one could show me where or help me out i would really appreciate it thanx

 

forgot to post i did it at WOT and it don't seem to be burning any oil or smoking

 

i dont know the compressison of my engine but i got 189000 miles on it and it still runs strong

 

ya i drove it around it feels good but to be honest iv only drove one other type s before so iam no expert.

 

I drove two RSX type-s last week one with 165,000 and one with 160,000 and they both had a very strong engine. But it was too many miles for me to be confident in the purchase, but I am sure that they weren't ready to break down soon.

 

yeah my dad bought his ep3 around 90,000 i think cant remember cause it was a couple years. But i got at like 176,000 there all highway miles tho commuting to work and back and ive put a good amount on the car dont know the exact mileage right now i think 189,xxx

 

these k20s are strong motors!

 

those are good results

 

good results. what matters most is that they are near each other. only time id worry is if you were 20psi or so off

 

this engines are great mine has 134,000 and it still runs strong with no problems so far

 

i just got an 02 type s with 155k the motor feels healthy and strong. just do all the important necessary maintenance like timing belt and water pump most importantly.

 

Don't know about yours, but mine doesn't have a timing belt.

 

No K series engine uses a timing belt....they are a chain!

 

Your compression is ok, if you change it for better piston rings this will be higher!

 

How do you 2012 members keep bumping all these old useless threads?
