Whats good compression for a rotary?
 
I talked to a guy that rebuilt an engine for another guy who is selling his TII. The mechanic races RX-7's and said he has 9 to 1 rotors in it and the compression is running 110. That sound decent? The motor is brand new, 500 miles since rebuild.

100 miles South of Amarillo or 400 miles NW of Dallas/FTWorth area.

your compression sounds good I think that is right about where it should be. You are still breaking it in though. wait until you have like 1500 mile on it and test it again.;)

with those rotors i would like to see the compression in the 120psi range freshly rebuilt!
