For someone who is quoting experiences so often, I would think you would recognize someone elses. This is not theory. It is real world that I have been using for years. I am not talking about just reving the engine, winding it out is taking the revs up by the max.

You obviously have no clue how little air it takes to rev and unloaded engine compared to a loaded engine. What it does unloaded except at idle has nothing to do with down the road performance.

Has nothing to do with the performance except for the limits.

Easy Yogi, just curious. Not saying I was on to something but the guy had a question and I figured I would try to diagnose in my minds eye. Not saying it is the best way, but if it did not hit RPMS on the stand then it does give us a easy place to start adjusting from (the stand).

$26 for rings when I did it this summer. $8 for gaskets. Honing might cost you some too.

What did your Honda dealer say when you told them you were 20psi below the minimum compression spec?
