I did a compressiong test on my b16a2 and this is my results.
1st = 210 2nd= 210 3rd= 195 4th= 195
You think this is good? I get this black liquid that comes out of my exhaust lately. I've also noticed white smoke somethings. please leave some comments. thanks.

 

they seem a little low, but pretty consistent

 

anyone else with b16a2? with compressiong results?

 

when testing compression, do you just crank till the numbers peak? I was told to do that, and also i was told to do it for 3-5 cranks. does it make a difference?

 

my b16a has 235-245 across the board

 

i crank it 15 times
or just crank it till it doesn't build anymore compression.

 

I'm pretty sure I talked to you in regards to this before, but when performing a compression test, just crank engine until guage peaks. This will generally happen within 12-15 revolutions of crankshaft.

On your B16A2, the compression numbers you listed on your results are bit low but otherwise, OK. Probably had some fuel wash the cylinders down while performing test. This is not uncommon. Have you performed a wet compression test yet? What about the head gasket leak detection test I suggested when we were discussing the possibility of a blown head gasket?

Again, you have my number, call me if you have any questions. I'll also try to keep up with posting more frequent on Honda-Tech also.

 

thanks tim..

 

I have a turbo'd B16 with 130 psi in each cylinder.
I also have that black liquid that isnt oil that seems to spray out every now and then.

Any guesses at what it could be?
