Low Compression in cylinders..
I drive a 95 integra ls and I checked the compressions of all four of my cylinders because it was running like crap.
1st-120 2nd-125 3rd-120 4th-140
Is this at normal compression? I was kinda thinking they're way too low.
How do i fix this? Change the head gasket?
Is changing the head gasket easy?...costly at the shop?
HELP!!
Thanks

It seems a little low, but they are all close together. If you really wanted to fix the problem, you could take apart the bottom end and put new piston rings in...but that would be an expensive labor job.

if you wanted to swap rings, you'd also have to yank the head, which I just did on my car. It is not fun. those numbers dont sound TOO bad....i wouldnt worry yet about compression.
