My 00' S2000 Compression test at 286k KM
Hello, about 6 months ago i traded my old mini for a 00' Silverstone S2000 with 278k Kilometers on the clock. I know they are many but the car was in excelent condition, not any scratches both in the body and the interior. The car was bone stock i have added a custom 63.5 catback exhaust and Koni dampers with Eibach lowered springs. I didn't run a compression test when I bought it, so now was the time. The car now has 286.000 kilometers with the stock block, and the previous owner says it still has the stock pistons and rings. I tested it with the engine in opperating temperature, all spark plugs removed, fuel pump fuse off and wide open throttle, cranked 5-6 times.
Results:
1st test: 225 225 235 235 PSI
2nd test: 245 235 235 235 PSI
Average: 235 230 235 235 PSI
Not only it has 235 PSI compression (I've been told 240 is the compression a brand new engine has) but also the compression cocistency between the 4 cylinders. How is that even possible in a 278k km and 14 years old engine? I was amazed!

I'm hesitant to say that all compression readers are accurate. So it's hard to compare numbers with someone else using a different reader.
At the end of the day, those #'s look healthy. Keep it that way!

These numbers are great. There is no reason to beleive that a high mileage car should have compression issues just because of the miles they last forever when taken care of!!
