Just did a compression check, here's what I measured:

108, 120, 96, 85

I've got a stock 1.8L, but would like to build a 1911 or 2056 in the relatively near future. Hopefully I'll be ok for another year or so with the current setup.

Thanks to all for the responses (and patience, as I'm sure this topic has been covered many times..).

When I 'rebuilt' the engine, I did keep the pistons/rings/cylinders as a matching set. The cylinder ID's had no cross-hatching and, I said above, one cylinder one had a big void. Valve clearances have been set post-rebuild.

Basically, I was doing a super cheap rebuild, just to get my car back on the road ASAP. Since I'm still learning how to tune etc, I figure it's better to keep driving it as is for another year, rather than spend a lot of money doing the upgrade and then destroying it because I don't know what I'm doing.

On another note, I tried to sync my carbs today, found out that was impossible because my linkage bushing are all worn. Seriously considering buying the CSP bell-crank linkage now.
