i recentley got my compression done on my cylinders, and they came up 180 all the way across all the cylinders. i have a f22b2. i think stock it 175. is it bad if its a little higher?

 

THat is fine.

 

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it's higher because of carbon buildup. Also the volume of the spark plug (or compression tester) can vary your findings from the rated specs.

 

that's fine, 200 is about average

 

Carbon buildup does cause higher readings, but stock spec I think is around 178 and he is getting 180, and you know the accuracy of the gauge isn't the greatest(probably +/- 5%). If 3 were 180 and 1 was 250 or 120, that is when you have to worry.
