Default Compression test ?

When I did my compression test, I don't think my engine was at wide open throttle. All my numbers were really good though. So should I even worry about it ? Does it make that much of a difference ?

By the way my numbers were

#1 230/235
#2 225/230
#3 225
#4 235

So should I redo it since my throttle was about 98% open ?

98% is basicly WOT. Your numbers are fine. Next time, try without any throttle. The number would be at like 100 or so. You just basicly have to have the throttle floored.

the important thing is that your numbers should be within 10psi as a rule of thumb so youre good
