So I recently got my 97 GSX up and running after sitting for almost 4 years. Engine is a rebuilt 7bolt with stock internals with about 40k miles on it. Got BPUz, FMIC, 550cc and walbro 255 with Frank 3 turbo. Engine cranked right up after i changed the oil, bpr7es, and battery and sounds great no smoke or misfire. Well i decided to do a compression today and i got 140 compression on cyl 4 2 1 and 150 on cyl 3. Did the test twice and same results. What are yalls opinions, is the engine almost done or do yall recomend i do a leak down test. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. TIA
 
Its a 2G 7bolt rebuilt with the 2g stock pistons.
I let it idle for about 15 mins and let it cool down for about 15mins after, keep in mind i dont drive it right now since i dont insurance on it yet. Also i pulled the "engine" fuse out to do the test. Do you suggest i drive it for a good 30 minutes to warm it up good?
