i did a compression test on a friends 95 gsr motor and the numbers were
#1-130...#2-130...#3-125...#4-130
why are they soo low?? arent they supposed to be like 180+? And what can he do to fix?

 

Did u do it with the throttle wide open? My ls was 120 until i opened the throttle and it was 170ish. hope that helps.

 

oh shiet nah we didnt do the test at WOT...ill re-do it tomorrow and see what the numbers are...thanks

 

No prob happy to help, one more quick thing. If your results are still dissapointing try pouring some motor oil in the cilinder through the plug hole, like 50ml or so then do the test again at WOT and that should give you the max Compression. then u can see If theres anything wrong with your rings too. Good luck.

 

You test your compression with the throttle wied open?!?
