MN my compression test resualts need your opinions please.

my resaults for the compression test on my S5 N/A motor.

front rotor 78-80
rear rotor 70-73

i used a conventional compression tester.

also from what i've heard is that you get higher compression numbers once the engine is up to normal temps and then you let it sit to cool down for 30 mins or so then compresson test it. is that true?

are these numbers still good for the motor to run? cause i plan on swapping this motor into another fc.

so what are your guy's thoughts?

Pretty low.
That said, mine's been running for nearly three years on 80-85 psi with no starting or flooding issues...ever.

And with that said, I wouldn't go to the trouble of swapping it into another car without a rebuild.
