I am wanting to buy an engine sold here and i asked for test it came 200 compression across the board non vvt 1.8 99-00. No video so its their word. Uet this looks very uncommon for an exact same set of compression numbers. Am i over thinking this?

 

Did they specify a wet or dry test? Need more info

 

Exactly the same number for every cylinder is like winning the lottery or being struck by lightning. So, yeah, perhaps they didn't actually do a compression check -- or giving the benefit of the doubt, perhaps they were all 200ish. It's fair to ask for the exact numbers without rounding or some kind of explanation prior to spending money IMHO.

 

You can rent a tool at advanced auto for $35 to test yourself. I ended up buying it.
