Unfortunatly you cant tell why compression is down without having a look inside. Did you do a leakdown test?

150 I was told. Whatever has happened it appears to be even wear. What is a leakdown test?
Probably a good idea mr finn.
Luckily its still driving so gives me time to save for a rebuild.

Not sure now I've priced it up..... Ej22 blocks aren't exactly cheap so will probably build something uber strong and leave it at that. All depends how much I can save up without the other half moaning about these bloody windows again lol.

thought compression was supposed to be 180? thought mine was low but seems all cylinders were 160 and no other issues which then resulted in the map being able to chuck loads of timing in. result

Can't say I didn't think about it but I couldn't/wouldn't be able to bring myself to do it
so she will be reborn eventually.
