Default stock compression numbers on a b16a2?

the minimum for bseries hondas is 140 i believe, with the normal between 200-250. how much the numbers vary is what matters most. anything over +/- 10% is bad, as well as anything under 140.

You're looking for the compression readings to be even across all cylinders. Don't go by any spec. Post the numbers after you have done the test and we can help you evaluate them.
