so i did a compression test...

[Sijray21]

ok, i did the compression test again, dry and wet

here are the numbers: (i did each test twice with about 7 turns each -- same numbers)

4, 3, 2, 1 ----- Cylinder

230, 220, 210, 210 ---- DRY

285, 285, 285, 255 ---- WET

so i take it since the numbers have a big difference then it's the rings, right?......:hammer:.....aving for rebuild:


first off, i think these are kinda high numbers for a stock b16, but is that 18-23% increase because the rings are going bad? just trying to understand what's going on, does the extra oil help fil the 'gap' between the rings and the cylinder walls - holding compression better?
