Compression test results
I actually just realized I forgot to do that this time as well. But the numbers I posted were without the throttle opened so those still seem low but worth a shot checking again if you want.

Numbers do seem a bit low. Did mine today on warm engine. I have 228K on it and recently been sc'd.
I got:
224

The biggest concern with a compression test is consistency though.
You want to make sure no cylinders are more than 10 psi difference really.

That is awesome.

I read that this means my O-rings are leaking causing blow-by. If it was the cylinders that were damaged, then the tablespoon of oil wouldn't have worked right?
So to repair this requires an engine rebuild to replace the O-rings? One guy recommended I put "Restore" in my oil and it might help restore my O-rings?
Has anyone tried this?
Since my numbers are pretty much the same across the board, do you guys think this is ok?
Yeah i think it is ok. Will just be a slightly lower compression engine. When 1 cylinder is waay off then you know you got another issue going on with that one cylinder. Like a scored wall or bad gasket etc. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Ok, I'll just accept that my engine won't be at 100% unless I rebuild it.
Thanks for everyone's answers.
