RX7 allnight

i did a comperssion test on my first rebuild (12a)
the numbers were 97-100-97
with only 200 miles on break-in with used housings and rotors. oem seals.
it was only cranking @ 120-130 Rpms. what do you think of these numbers? it was only on the rear housing as i did not have enough juice to test the front
how much does cranking effect the test as i know the rpm should be alot higher

The FSM has a chart that relates cranking speed to compression numbers. Accurate results require 4 things, engine at operating temp, throttle wide open, altitude compensation and a cranking speed of 250 rpm. Since the chart only goes down to 200 rpm, I'd say your numbers are pretty good.

Yep, it does and many tester miss that seemingly minor step.
