That was the question ^^

Oh and Rotary repair services? Of Notts compression tested the engine at 97psi front and 96 PSI rear, not sure how good/ bad this is?

Yeah, 6.5 bar each rotor - seems low. Isn\'t 8.5bar (125psi) meant to be very good? High 7s good, mid 7 ok (110psi), and anythign lower rubbish? (I may be wrong!)

got that exact ignition booster on my single; it does exactly what it says on the box....helps with better ignition to the standard system hence better performace...:3gears-lh

Won\'t read too much into it, the guy came out to test, my understanding was that there were very few places who could do a good test?

"Something not quite right with that compression test on a rotary!" ?

Hi I was the guy that went out to do the compression test last night
(Greg from Rotary Repair Services).

The engine was showing "average to good" (my words) compression using the standard compression tester with Schroeder valve removed method.

97-97-97 psi on front rotor and 96-96-96 psi on rear rotor.

(That’s 6.7-6.7-6.7 & 6.6-6.6-6.6 in bar)

I wouldn\'t say anything was indicating that things were "not quite right".

This link here by Clive suggests that I should be adding 20% to figures from a "normal compression tester":

http://www.mazdarotaryclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=107&highlight=compression

I record exactly what I get from the test gauge, and those figures I gave do not highlight any problems.

Sorry Greg, What i meant was it is usual to be a bit more specific as
in--(That’s 6.7-6.7-6.7 & 6.6-6.6-6.6 in bar)

not as a total which i would have thought could have one or two low readings when put down as

97psi front and 96 PSI rear,
Cheers Bob

Hi FTORich. I\'m renting a place in Brissol in Westbury Park (v. posh yeah yeah yeah) and work in Filton. If I see your rex i\'ll give you a wave. You\'ll probably think WTF though cos I\'ll be in a s**t rusty Golf (the daily driver). I drive a first gen rx7 but she only comes out on nice days :cool  and isn\'t here at the moment.

:cheers
