"With a warm engine and with the trottle wide open, 156 psi. And the service limit is 109 psi. With a cold engine you can expect a lower reading."

Did you do a "wet" test too? If the compression improves it could be rings/pistons; if not it could "only" be valves.M.B Co said:Did a warm compression test.
