hi, fellow 2carpros.com members-

I have just performed a Compression Test on my 1999 Acura Integra GS-R, since I beat my car every now and then I thought I'd better check my 'compression readings' on the motor just to be on the safe side of things.

After taking out all the spark plugs, and preparing for the first cyclinder to be tested. I proceeded on the Compression Test, I had my wife turn the motor over 7-8 times before stopping.

Cyclinder Number 1 Reads = 175
Cyclinder Number 2 Reads = 180
Cyclinder Number 3 Reads = 190
Cyclinder Number 3 Reads = 190

Are These Readings BAD>??????

I am also, running Intake, Header, Test Pipe, Full Cat Back Exhaust, and an OBD-1 conversion.
could the i/h/e cause leakage or anything of that sort to give me a lower Compression Read Out?

THANKS- a ton guys
have a good day all =]
