Compression Test Question
Hey guys,
so after selling my FD about 4 years ago, i'm thinking of buying another one now. its a 99 JDM auto. I got the compression tested with a normal piston engine tester. I saw a few videos that suggested removing the schrader valve from the gauge so that I get 3 equal pulses or jumps in the needle. With this method I got 3 equal jumps of 55psi.
Without taking the valve off the psi builds up to about 100.
Is this good or bad?
As far as the drive is concerned,starts up immediately, it idles alright, does not over heat(its 45c here) and pulls pretty hard for an auto. It doesn't smoke either, just a little blueish puff on startup.
