Just did compression test on my car this morning. Here are the results...

cyl 1 - 115
cyl 2 - 125
cyl 3 - 125
cyl 4 - 125

Im pretty sure these are low but I just want to make sure.

I just had my head resurfaced (dont know how much they took off) and I installed a Mitsubishi 4 layer metal head gasket and was told that would change my compression a little but would it change it that much? Stock cams and valves. I just had a 3 angle valve job done also.

If any other mods are needed to figure out what compression should be let me know.

If these are low and a rebuild is needed, is it better to keep my 1g pistons or should i get 2g pistons put in?

Thanks,

:talon: Dom
