Compression Check= low compression?
just did a compression check on the gsr... the compression for all 4 cylinders are well below 200... all 4 cylinders are running around 140-160... Would the cam gear setting contribute to the low compression? since the valves are some what opened and its leaking pressure? or would it be a burnt piston ring or two..

usually when doing a compression test, you want to have the TB open at W.O.T. for the best results. Try doing it again w/the throttle pressed while cranking the engine.
