compression check
after i put the engine back into my gsl-se, the car has not been running right
i can still drive that around but the fastest i can go is 70mph
just did a compression check on it yesterday
the front housing i got 35-35-35 and the rear one i got 20-20-60
does it sound strange to you?
my car is have problem while idleing and had tried the decarbon that with MMO, ATF and Water injection treatment but the problem is still there
and today i started up the car after the MMO has been sitting there for a day. white smoke keep pumping out for over an hour (literally)
did i already damage the engine by trying to decarboning the motor
what does the compression reading mean to any of you guys
and also one more strange things, the water temperature has never reach the normal, it's about half as hot(i was only looking at the dash so i do not know the exact temp)
anyone has any opinion?

Comp #s are definitely bad, rear shows an apex seal problem. Did you get a total reading by letting the compression build up and not holding the release button?
How many miles on the engine?
Our temp gauges are supposed to stay in the lower 1/3 of the needle sweep. When any of mine get to the 1/2 way mark, I start watching the temp very closely. Once the gauge passes the 1/2-3/4 mark, they can overheat very very quickly. By the time the gauge pegs, it's often too late for the engine.
