I\'ve just done a compression test on my 12A powered Ro80. The readings are as follows:
Front rotor:
9
9.5
9.5
Rear rotor:
8.5
8
7.5
I carried out the test as the car is low on power. What I would like to know from someone in the know is how would a 12A with similar readings generally perform? An NSU engine with these readings would perform pretty well but I don\'t know how the Mazda engines perform. I\'m basically trying to work out if I\'m lacking power due to this or something else. There is no smoke or starting problems.
Thanks,
Phil.

Hi Phil,
Your readings are fine,in fact more than fine.
You must have a problem with something else.
Kind regards
Carl
