Fuel pump relay removed.
Coil pack disconnected
Fuel lines empty
Car warmed up
Gas pedal all the way down
#'s are after 3 cracks each cylinder.

My engine has 90k miles. Also I forget, but does compression tell you if you have a head gasket leak? I think I see oil around the bottom end. Haven't fully inspected yet.

Cyl 1 223
Cyl 2 224
Cyl 3 230
Cyl 4 231

Is this even possible with my milage LOL.

Each sparkplug had a greyish tip with a bit of brownish color around the end.

Post up your thoughts.

Good numbers would be 125 across all cylinders. Those numbers you posted seem extremely high. Just my opinion, I could be wrong.


This test will show you if you have leaking valves/stuck valves, blown head gasket, etc. Also, high compression could be caused by oil getting in to the cylinder, past the rings or leaking past the valve guide seals.

Stock compression is 213psi, its in Web Tech. So I'm not sure were your getting your "good" numbers from Tri-pod Racing.

I need someone with a bit of experiance in this field to let me know if this high compression is normal or ....?

And if my head gasket is good...from where is there oil on the bottom end near the head. LOL.

Also I don't think the guage is off at all at max 1-3psi.

What I am asking is, is it possible to achieve these #'s or are they too high?

as for the oil

clean if off with a rag and see where its coming from could be leftovers that you spilt while changing the oil or even a failed valve cover gasket
