Message	This was how it was described to me. Why do they look so abnormally low to me? Is it the altitude that I live at, or am I reading the numbers wrong? Does the nissan equipment read differently than other equipment? Am I paranoid over nothing? I have no reason to believe anything is wrong, as my car seems to run great. Why did I have a compression test? I had it in for alignment and a few other things so I figured "6P's. Might as well do it." The numbers: 1-125, 2-125, 3-125, 4-120, 5-125, 6-125. Just looking at consistency, yeah they look great, but looking at FSM (EM-9) for a '94 anyway, it looks like my engine might be toast. Please set my mind at ease. Or not. Thanks.
