compression test results
87 rx7 with 200k on it
just got it as a gift so..... i checked the compression today and it bumped even 3 times on both housings 60 psi, 95 over all. Is it time for a new motor? I see ppl saying that it has to be over 85, is that the bumps or over all?
thanks

"Total compression" is a meaningless number. You really just need to remove the schraeder valve, and watch the pulses. Spec is > 85 psi, but ideally you want to at least be in the 90s.
This is the best compression test writeup I've found. I think I put it in the FAQ too.
