Normal compression for a '97 Integra GSR

[peebee]

Anyone know what "normal" compression PSI is for the cylinders? I'm currently seeing anywhere from 170-185.

Stock '97 GSR.

Thanks,
Mike

I think 190 is perfect and anything above 170 is healthy.

Cool, thanks for the reply man. I guess for 185,000 miles it isn't too bad off then.

It's not so much the actual number (which according to the Helms can be as low as 130) but how even the readings are between each cylinder. You want them within 10% of each other.

I thought GSR's were in the 2xx's?

Like suspended hatch said.. the consistency of the numbers is even more important than how high they are overall. What you want to watch for is an oddball cylinder that is significantly lower than the rest.

I.E. I'd be more worried about 165/171/132/161 than I would be about 176/180/185/180.
