1G Compression test

[salvador2330]

Engine has about 50-60 miles on it and I did a compression test and they were 156-160 on all four cylinders Is it normal or the rings are bad.

150 is good especially for a motor that isnt even broken in yet... was this a cold test or was the engine warm?

 

[salvador2330]

Yes, I let it idle for about 15 min.

put like 500 miles on it then check again... also you should change the oil... i changed mine like 3 times in the 1st 1k miles

Yeah

Those are good numbers. Remember to do lots of engine breaking, allow the car to build boost, but don't put your foot in it constantly. ^^ Change your oil after 100 miles, 200, 500, 1000, 2000, and then every 3000 miles.

Thanks alot

Yeah

You could likely see those numbers go up a little bit over the next few weeks if you drive the car correctly. ;3

Good luck!
