Default Pic of my Aristo GTE

Here are some pics I took today along with compression numbers I took today.
These were taken doing a wet test, mind you the engine has not ran in over 1 year. So I believe the numbers will be a bit more stable once the engine is in the car and running!
Cylinder,
1. 165
2. 185
3. 162
4. 180
5. 175
6. 195
I read online that the minium compression number should be no lower than 128. So these numbers seem to be pretty good. Yes I know the lowest number is 20 psi than the highest number but like I said, once in the car and running I think it will be a bit more stable.
Now for some pic's. Sorry about the pic being sideways, Im doing this with my brand new Mac and haven't figured out how to rotate the pic's.......former windows user....lol
If anyone knows how to rotate them, please fill me in! FML

Default more pics

Another pic. It seems the timing belt was changed at one point. I can see where the sticker was just above the 100,000 km sticker is. too bad I won't know when it was changed. But on the bright side....At least it was changed!!!

So what do you all think of the compression numbers I posted?

Since you put oil in there for the test, the numbers dont really mean anything. If one cylinder was like 40 against all the others then there may be a flag. Leakdown is a much more important test, compression is a quick way to see if there is a big problem but does not reflect how well it actually seals.
