Did a compression test!

The engine wasn't that hot but I thought consistency would outweigh accuracy, I had the rough guide of 162 psi in my head before starting so my result wasn't too far off!

1: 159
2: 159
3: 160
4: 160

That's the truth, done by a screw-in tester and not the rubber push in rubbish

Testament to "The Great One" for telling me it wasn't a shit car, and I'm happy that I haven't done any damage in the 8 months of ownership.

Changed my plugs too and set the gap at .71mm, the old ones ranged from .81 to more than 1mm (scary).. Much more responsive now!

Just need to get the phantom engine mount squeek sorted and I'm happy

no1 - 165
no2 - 150
no3 - 150
no4 - 150

so thats a 10% difference si i guess thats ok?! :?

The R bible says that you shouldn't have more than 14psi difference across all pistons, maybe you should check No.1 again just incase it mis read?

15psi is quite a big difference.
