I did compression test yesterday and I must say I am happy. Stock pressure should be about 192psi with the 9.0:1 pistons I have. Here are my numbers after a total of 2300 miles on the new motor:

Cyl 1 - 195psi
Cyl 2 - 191psi
Cyl 3 - 194psi
Cyl 4 - 195psi

And this was with the 'hard' break-in. Looks like it works.
 
Boy do I hope mine are up that high...Im doing mine tomorrow with 200 on the clock. Ill do one in another thousand, but Im sure the rings are seated by now...
