Compression numbers for 1g

[Mits3gts]

i recently did a compression check on my motor.i followed the vfaq instructions.
i bought the car a month ago,168k. complete new head,guy i bought it from said the dealership he brought the car to messed up the timing belt job,so they replaced the head,possibly more?? i couldnt beleive the compression numbers from this motor with this high of mileage 160 all across,every cylinder was perfect...you guys think they put new pistons,rings etc?? i know the guy i bought it from took real good care of this car,has every receipt from 11/89..

You've just experienced firsthand the result of proper maintainence and care. I know a guy that bought a Charger brand new when he was 16 and it still has perfect compression.

I had a untouched 91 GSX with 176k miles that pulled 162-164 compression across the board. They probably just did the head like you said. It's all in the preventative maintenence.

sweet and thanks for the replies.the car runs very good and pulls hard. with this kind of mileage,you think its a good idea to do the stage 1 mods?

 

[ryanman]

WTF do you mean by stage 1 mods?

i know i know, i hate it when people refer to things in stages. like " yo you got a stage 3 turbo on dat eclipse." that shit annoys me so much, but i think he is refering to the tuning guide. he probably means the page of the tuning guide that has all the basic bolt on parts excluding a fmic.

 

[Mits3gts]

yes,i was referring to the tuning guide. sorry if i'm bothering you guys.
