Compression Test

I know a lot of numbers vary and sometimes on older engines as long as they are fairly uniform it's ok. If these are considered high readings my thoughts might be to oil seepage/carbon buildup. Your thoughts since these are older engines. -------------------- 94 Celica GT \|Toyota OEM Japan\|Toyota Racing Development\|Tom's\|Competition Clutch\|5Zigen\|Apexi\| \|Laille/Beatrush\|Magnecor\|Denso\|Royal Purple\|Optima\|PIAA\|PW JDM\|Megan Racing\|Nitto\| \|Work\|Greddy\|Samco\|Project Mu\|H&R\|Gates\|Moog\|Rota\|Yokohama\|Epman\|1320\|Upgr8 04 Celica GT \|Toyota OEM Japan\|Toyota Racing Development\|Tein\|BC Racing\|Greddy\| ~~89 Supra (Sold)~~ ~~90 Supra (Sold)~~

You could try running a high PEA injector cleaner like Gumout 2x for a couple tanks of gas and then do a piston soak with some solvents and recheck compression. -------------------- 2000 Celica GTS 'slowest gts evar' 1998 Mazda 626 FS-DE/CD4-E

So are those numbers ok since its uniform? -------------------- 94 Celica GT \|Toyota OEM Japan\|Toyota Racing Development\|Tom's\|Competition Clutch\|5Zigen\|Apexi\| \|Laille/Beatrush\|Magnecor\|Denso\|Royal Purple\|Optima\|PIAA\|PW JDM\|Megan Racing\|Nitto\| \|Work\|Greddy\|Samco\|Project Mu\|H&R\|Gates\|Moog\|Rota\|Yokohama\|Epman\|1320\|Upgr8 04 Celica GT \|Toyota OEM Japan\|Toyota Racing Development\|Tein\|BC Racing\|Greddy\| ~~89 Supra (Sold)~~ ~~90 Supra (Sold)~~

I'd imagine the 5S wouldn't be much different. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed
