Something is wrong there.
How long have you been running the engine?
What did you do for break in procedure?

How was the compression test done?
- remove all plugs
- disconnect distributor

Do the test again. This time when you get a low number, drop a cap ful of oil in the cylinder and retest to see if the numbers come up.

I got the engine back into the CRX in January it was on the road beginning of February I say I put a little about 500 miles on the engine. as far as the compression test I don't know how he did it but I received the phone call saying that my numbers were low because my mechanic was getting ready to put it on the dyno and I have the Turbo hooked up. he did also informed me that he found some oil where the spark plug wire connect
