Hey everyone.I'm selling my car and the guy thats going to buy wanted a compression test done before the sale.We did one today and the readings were 125-135 across the board.I know the stock minimum is somewhere around 126 or so? Anyhow,my motor way rebuilt about a year ago w/ .20 over pistons in the stock 1g compression ratio.Just factory replacements in a larger size. So my question is if you replace the pistons with a larger bore,but keep the stock CR will the compression be lower and be normal.I mean normal and not a problem? Thanks for the input everyone. BWT it's a 92 6bolt FWD TSI
 
Do you mean add alittle oil and retest? If so,no we didn't.His buddy told him if it's been bored over w/ a stock CR piston then the CR will be lower,and that would be normal.
 
Ok the guys didn't do the test the right way.We didn't have the throttle WOT.We redid it WOT and the compression went to 150-140-150-150.Sounds more like it
