Compression Number Format
I am considering a 93 base model with sunroof.
The compression numbers the seller gave me are Front: 125-125-130 Rear: 130-130-130 Ive always seen compression numbers in 6-8 never the hundreds. Is this a bad thing? |
The minimum compression is 100 psi at 250 rpm. Your numbers look really good depending on the measurement conditions (rpm and altitude).

Cool I will find out what rpm that was run at
is 250 rpm the standard? |
Yes 250rpm is standard. The numbers you are quoting are in psi, while the Mazda manual lists them in kg/cm^2, so its a simple unit conversion. FWIW, 125psi=8.8kg/cm^2 and 130psi=9.1kg/cm^2. These numbers are extremely good considering the factory new spec was only 120psi or 8.5kg/cm^2. Maybe the rpm was a little higher, or you just found yourself a cherry engine.
