i checked my compression today and it is much higher than 180 with four cranks it ends up around 200. im guessing this isnt a problem ? i have a light tapping noise. valves are good as far as i can tell. cant seem to figure out what it is.

old high-mileage engine?sometimes carbon will build up on the pistons and that will raise your compression.

curious, to be sure.
