123, 125, 73, and 130. Boy, this sure explains why it would not idle worth a damn and would always flood out. I am amazed that the car would start and run. I kept having a problem with the car flooding out, running pig rich, and not keeping an idle once warm. I thought it was because my Bov was not recirculated. I never thought to check compression because I got the motor from Japan Direct. They are "supposed" to compression check every motor. Anyway, I am now in a dispute with them to get a new motor. What sort of problems will low compression cause?

Do a leak down test to see exactly whats wrong. Could be a stuck valve from sitting for a while, or HG. Mine ended up being a cracked ring land, hopefully its something easy to fix, or you get your money back. Could be so many things you may as well figure out whats wrong to make it easier to fight for a refund.

My guess is you won't get a dime back from them. Did they give you the numbers from the comp test? I'd just figure out what the problem is by getting a leakdown test, and go from there.
