Default Did a compression test today

I have a stock jdm b16 (obd0). Here are my results
Cly#1: 185
Cly#2: 185
Cly#3: 184
Cly#4: 185

Good? Bad?

They're a little low, but consistent, so it could be the gauge. I'd say it's good.

Those are about right, It's probably just the gauge reading slightly lower than others and the fact that alot of people on here inflate their compression numbers to show-boat. I've seen claims of 235 on a stock GSR once upon a time.

Unless they vary from cylinder to cylinder wildly its usually OK.
