Compression test results...

so i got a compression test at a mitsu dealership. the result was cylinder#1 143/145, cylinder#2 143/145, cylinder#3 144/145, cylinder#4 143/144. according to mitsu tech 135-145 is normal. but when i talked to the guys at TurboTrix they said normal compression is around 175. im a lil confused here

From another thread a week or two back, the normal compression for IX's is much lower than for the VIII's.

The mivec cams do some strange things to the compression test. As long as they are all close to one another I wouldn't really worry about it.
