Wash
Clay bar
Hit it with ultra cut compound using a DA polisher and foam pad
Installed remanufactured front calipers, new pads and new rotors
Dropped off my original rear calipers for rebuilding and powdercoating
Dropped off my stock enkei wheels for refinishing and powdercoating
Removed side mirrors - waiting for gloss black mirrors to come in the mail.
Good news: 115-120 all across with the new starter, on the old starter I was 95-100. I don't know how or why this difference is possible, but this is after repeated tests, I don't think there's another variable.
I'm fine with these numbers, it's a weird motor, used 2.4 4g64 block on a MIVEC head with weird timing
Bad news: holy **** that's a lot of oil on spark plug #3 threads, I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that I lose like half a quart of oil every 200 miles
EDIT: Shop says a different starter can't change compression numbers, so I guess it's some other mystery variable.

i had oil on on one of my threads about a year ago and it was the valve cover seals on the plug holes, i would remove your valve cover and replace them all and that should fix your problem
