Compression Readings

[bnaellis]

With those figues 60k will not be the slightest problem. Those figures are actually above average for 52,000 miles.
You can hardly find an fd in Japan that\'s got a rebuilt engine below 60,000 not unless it\'s a single turbo conversion and has been rebuilt & ported to match turbo.

Grinder, why do the 6xx figures worry you? After all, 6.90 and 6.95 are 7 really, and your other figure on that rotor is 7 as well so what\'s the issue?

i thought they were low thats all ,  there is no proof of a rebuild on the car , so i was trying to gain how long the engine would last

does it take long for the figures to drop ? do they drop a certain amount per 1000 miles ?

i dont know much about FD engines , so how long would you guys expect it to last ?

or could you assume its been rebuilt

thanks

after speaking to brian , yes , it sounds a good engine

its not usually the compression of the engine thats the prob , its the water seals holding pressure !!

at least i have a better insight into the FD engine

Not proud of my mileage at all but the only rebuild that it had done was at 99,700 miles!!!

Worth noting that It had a dealer service every year without fail!
