Compression Pressure
Hey my name is Rob and i am new to this forum, I have a 2000 civic LX with the d16y7 engine, i did a compression check today, and got the numbers CYLINDER 1=200psi/CYLINDER 2=195psi/CYLINDER 3=200psi/CYLINDER 4=200psi. My Hanes manual said that the standard compression is 184psi, and the Minimum is 135psi, and the most Variation is 28psi. My car has 72227 miles on it. Now i was wondering if my engine is just in really good shape, or do i have alot of carbon build up or something because the manual also stated that extremly high pressure would mean the head must be removed and decarbonized, but oil has always been changed since new and every 3000 miles and as far as i know of all my internals are clean and in good shape. So if anyone can tell me if im perfectly good to go or this is actually some sort of problem
Thanks in advance
Rob
