Compression Test 02/19/11

[LX_F23A1]

Well officialy my CG5 sedan is about 12 y.o.
255k miles on the odometer. And finally decided to see what my car somewhat looks like on the inside of things.

According to the Haynes manual, a properly working engine is supposed to a have:

Standard compression: 178psi
Minimum compression: 135psi

Maximum variation between cylinders of: 28psi

Some people such as Ryan, Nao, Ray, and Brandon who all saw how I drive my poor car lol, will be surprised at the figures that Im about to write lol...

Keep in mind daily driven and sees 6.5k erryday......

Cylinder 1: 175
Cylinder 2: 176
Cylinder 3: 175
Cylinder 4: 181

Questions, comments?

EDIT: And cylinder 3 leaks coolant sometimes
