this is what I did..removed the egi fuse ..unhooked CAS..took out both upper plugs (by the way 1988 13b n/a) unsrcewed the valve on the regular comression tester got someone to roll it over ..put tester in first plug hole..look at meter while engine was rolling over ..(even bounces apex seals ok)..put tester valve back in and rolled it over for about 2-3 seconds reading at 120-125..did same procedure for other rotor ....DID I DO the compression check ok?.. thanks in advance guys...Dave.

 

Yep. Damn, Is that engine new or something?

 

got it from a car lot!!!car included..just no p/s or a/c..goin for emissions ..so I'm checkin this and that...looks good in the yard but will look better out on the road passin a Honda!!..misterstyx69

 

good find

 

Did you forget to prop the throttle fully open?

Great numbers, but not only WOT RETed, but I believe that the engine must be at operating temperature, not cold. Correct?

PEACE THE DOG

 

That is correct.
For the compression numbers to be more accurate, it needs to be done with the engine at normal warm temps.
Cold temps will tend to spit out higher than normal numbers.

unless it's my car...I can't even do that to cheer myself up...

 

I did a compression test on a 86 NA that I was interested in the other day.
It hit a little over 100 on each rotor.
146k.
I was impressed.

 

found a compression tester at walmart for 17 bucks CAD today. going to go pick it up when my car gets back on the road. I want to give this a try :P though it will be rebuild numbers, im excited to see the compression slowly rise!

 

Comp. numbers only changed by a couple of psi on my car between warm and cold when I did it. Your car is probably actually around 115 when warmed up.

 

like it says ..but ya TED ...F<>K! ..I didn't have the throttle wide open!!..had to borrow comp. tester...gonna do it over and let you all know..but that was what I got with no throttle ...(ownin up to my mistake)...doin a couple things to it Thursday..it'll be on the road too..yee-hah!!!!NEWS AT ELEVEN!

 

I expect you to break 130's with the throttle wide open!

wow mine is at like 95 on each rotar..not good...its a 87 TII
