13B stock compression ratio?
I have a 93 fd, what is the stock engine compression. I will be checking it out tomorrow, I just want to know if the apex seals are good or if I'm due to rebuild it. Aswell, is it worth getting the coated seals, or are the stock ones good enough?
Thanks,
Thanks,

You can find the compression ratio here in the FAQ thread:

28) What should the compression be?
Compression test results are reported as six numbers: 3 per rotor. (This is not the same as the compression ratio). Higher, more equal numbers are best. The original Mazda specs dictate 8.5+ kg/cm² as new (121+ psi), with 6.0 kg/cm² (85 psi, 690kpa) being minimum acceptable. Maximum difference should be 1.5 kg/cm² (21 psi, 150kPa) from the highest to lowest value. It is important this test is carried out using proper equipment and under the correct conditions for rpm and engine temperature. Mazda dealers are generally reliable for performing this test, so long as they follow the procedures precisely.
