Message	However, gaps are usually set larger as boost goes up to prevent seizing. Maybe the engine needs to be "hot" rather than warm to get a true gauge of compression?

(n/m) - J-Mart 14:30:34 09/22/16 Numbers look good - ZXRider 15:33:43 09/22/16 so couldnt boost over 14psi - nissan300zxwork 23:50:29 09/22/16 Those numbers look OK for a TT. The NA compression >> - ZUL8TR 04:44:58 09/23/16 Interesting that built 8.5:1 engines < stock comp #'s - ZXoltan 10:20:47 09/23/16 Forged pistons require more clearance.

(n/m) - MixManMash 19:08:33 09/23/16 Agreed, Brett, but what about forged motors w stock cams?
