I did compression test on my 92 accord with 175 k miles - 180 PSI on all cylinders. Any idea how many more miles I could get out of the car? It seems to be in good shape but just old.
Thanks.

Just as important as how high the readings are is how close together they are. Example...180/179/176/182. If they vary by more than I think 10%, it could indicate problems in the motor.

If you keep up with maintenance like oil changes and don't beat the **** out of it, who knows how long it will last. My '90 Civic SI was at 265,000 miles on the original engine/trans/clutch when I sold it last year. Compression #s were in the high 180's.
