I'm planning on starting my head job tomorrow. I did a compression test tonight to get an idea of where I'm at in terms of engine wear. As the cylinders are physically laid out in front of you when you're standing behind the engine, I have: 150 150 170 170 give or take a few psi. This is an '83 1.9l engine with a little under 100,000 miles. I seem to get pretty good mileage (19mpg combination around town, light highway.) Is this front back difference a bit weird? I was wondering if the list might have some opinions one specific things I should be looking for with these numbers when I pull the heads. (The heads are just coming off because of a slow gasket leak). Thanks very much for any advice, Wes '83 1.9l. westy
