Default Just did a compression check, numbers ok?
I just did a compression check and they all came up to around 178 or so. Does that seem about right? It has a Ms4 cam but the rest is stock other than the supporting valvetrain. The motor has about 78000 miles on it. Thanks!

I did a compression check on mine with 3 different gauges. My car is right at 119,000 miles and all of my readings were +/- 10 psi. 225 was the average on my car with one gauge and the other gauges were 210-220, but then again I have a DCR of 9:1.
