God that is weird weather. Not too too cold at average 40 degrees, but plenty of snow coming your way, blah!

Snow chains? Wtf haha. The only people I see rolling around here in WISCONSIN with chains are squads (in Milwaukee they have crown vics so they chain em since they are rwd, west allis where I live they have Impalas so they don't bother chaining the fwd). I drove my Civic last winter and that thing went through any snow, only time I'd have problems is side streets and stuff when it wasn't plowed yet. I didn't get the joy of driving mine this winter... we've gotten tons of snow, just had like 18 inches 2 weeks ago.

Yeah i dont use chains around town or anywhere EXCEPT to and from school.
college sits on a hill about a mile long and only has a rail on one side and a ditch on the other on almost the whole way up.
Pretty crazy stuff happens there when it snows. I'll make sure i snap a pic next time i see a car in the ditch

So i never posted the results of the compression check i did in class.
Wasn't able to do a leakdown in class because was out of time.

And these readings where taken after sitting for 15 min after being up to operating temperature.
These are the results
#1---125
#2---120
#3---110 -poured a little oil in it and brought it up to 120. (Rings, right?)
#4---125

What you guys think..
Was hoping to push low boost, and then doing my bottom end.

ALL my cylinders seem a bit low, But they are consistent... Except for #3.

Thats what i thought was normal. Around 190psi

My teacher said the numbers were most likely ok...he said that all the cylinders having around the same compression was a good thing. He told me that the chances of having all the rings bad and giving the exact same reading, is the same as seeing a 400lb girl on a Top Model show.
But he also told me to look into it just to make sure. lol

Not sure what to think...lol

is this an auto shop in high school or college. those tools get ABUSED like no other. rent one from autozone if you think its the gauge at all. for reference i did mine recently and had 165-150 with one a little lower, probably the cylinder that got the most water in it back in the day.
