my car is at my mechanics. failed fuel injector and a broken spark plug (the piece of metal that curves over the electrode broke off).
He had said in passing that "you got 125 compression across the board, so looks like the engine is fine"
but after looking it up, it looks like stock compression should be 210?
does that make sense?
i seen that 210 was for a "DIY" compression test, so i was wondering if a compression tester that mechanic would have would display a different reading.(i know this isn't likely, but my mechanic, who i trust, acted like 125 was good. but then again maybe he had the wrong information on what it's supposed to be. or maybe he mean 225. really just grasping at straws here.)
misc info:
180k miles on engine
basic bolt on's (cai, full aftermarket exhaust, msd coilpack and plugs)
