Compression Question...

That seems kind of low to me. I know my compression on my motor when I had
it tested about 2 weeks ago was as follows
#1 168
#2 168
#3 168
4# 170

What year is this motor, and how many miles does it have on it. My motor has
about 86k and is out of a 97, and from what I have been told the compression
results on my motor could stand to be a little bit higher by about 5psi. I
believe that if you compression is that low you may be in need of new piston
rings and/or new head gasket. But don't take my word for it, I am in no way
qualified to say what is wrong. Maybe George or Wayne, but not me.
