Default B16A1 edm compression numbers

Just tested my b16 and got:
187 1
175 2
190 3
193 4
Kinda overheated once because the lower radiator hose was leaking but hasn't burned any coolant, no coolant in oil, doesn't seem to smoke and runs well since i fixed the leak.

Are the comp numbers anything to worry about because the difference between highest and lowest seem to be within spec?

Default Re: B16A1 edm compression numbers

To me, that is right on the border of a concern. I would do the test again after adjusting valve lash and then warm the engine up. If #2 was still low, I would do a leak down to check. As long as things aren't any worse with the engine warm or the leak down saying there is a serious concern, I would send it and plan to pull head at some point in the distant future to check the cylinder walls and lap the valves.
