Hey. I was told that my engine had low compression, how would I go about raising this compression. Yes I am new to these things. It's a ka24e.

Here is how ur compression should be at least 150 psi Or higher on all 4 cylinders
Whit less that 20% of differs from each other (ex. 100, 90,100,80 this is an example) should still be good if there is less that 20% differs
