92-95 Civic LX/DX compression check
I was wondering what kind of numbers everyone gets with their D15b7s, heres what I got on the 95LX 169k which I think is pretty good, probabally due to carbon buildup
:
1- 180psi
2- 175psi
3- 180psi
4- 190psi
Soon to swap a z6 head in there, hoping for some descent #'s on the dyno

ya they're not terrible numbers but you should be hoping for 190+ across the board...
If the low numbers are due to ring looseness then you might run into problems bumping the compression with the other head.... it may just blow the gains right by....
ONLY 1 WAY TO FIND OUT.

Well I've got a spare D16 block and spare Y8 head, so if all else fails I can put it together to put in the 95LX, I'm going to swap in the motor&trans thats in my 00EX now into the 95LX whenever I decide to swap in a B18a/b
Just looking to get a little more power out of the 1.5L for a little while, I'm going to put some ACL bearings in there when I swap the head in, so it should be allright for a while.
The funny thing is, we just started pushing the car a little and the compression #'s just keep on going up, seems the car was never driven hard before and the rings were never broken in all the way, toasted a 6g accord ex 5sp the other day
It doesnt burn oil, just a little smoke on startup in the mornings (valve seals).
