Compression results

I just got back from a compression test I had done today at a friend's shop.

I had 125 on 2 faces and 120 on one, on the rear.

I had 160 on all three faces on the front.

Seemed a little high I thought, busted gauge?

was the engine warm or cold?

160 on the front is real odd, but I dont know on tII maybe the front has better compression then the rear.

All NA's with 100k+ have crap for compression on the front, its usally the front rotor that fails as well.

the 125 and 120 seem average if you have 100k + on the car

The rear is. IIRC fd motors were 165psi. Uh.... you sure thats the original motor? Almost seems like someone put a fd rotor in lol.
