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,

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

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.

I just had one done on the 93 that I just bought. Anything below 100 is not good, fortunetly mine was north of 115, but it is a 27,000 mile car! Good luck!
