Here are my results from the Compression test that I did yesterday. (1) dry = 120 wet = 140 (2) dry = 120 wet = 140 (3) dry = 120 wet = 145 (4) dry = 120 wet = 143. I know that it is pretty low. Other then a rebuild what are some things i can do to pick up my compression?
 
Was the engine up to op temp when you did the the compression test?

Also was the TB wide open?

Were all 4 spark plugs removed at the time of each test?

Are you sure the gauge you used is accurate?
 
Yes all 4 plugs where out during the test, and the throtle body was open too, i can only asume that the gauge was correct seeing that i bought i brand new and this was the first test.
