Pay no mind to that title, call it a typo.


Motor has about 9,000 miles on it (Stock rebuild in 07) Did a compression test tonight coming out too.

130-130-130-130 dry

170-170-170-170 wet

Engine was completely warmed up.

It was very consistent but pretty low id say. Figured my rings are gone but not to sure how it did so soon? Pretty big jump though from dry to wet. Car feels 10-15 hp slower then it should be. Any ideas? Read adding lucas to your reg oil changes will raise the CR a bit?

Damn I wish I could feel the difference between 10-15 hp....LOL jk man actually 130 isnt bad since 07. I believe that like 160 or so is optimum so its not far off. Look at it this way...before my rebuild I was pushing like 70-75 in each cylinder haha...
