You are correct sir, eventually I'll have to fix it if I can't get any decent money for it like it sits...
I can't imagine it being compression it is a new engine but it would make a good selling point to have the compression numbers on paper.
We just got an AMG C43 and instantly lost all interest for the RX8
so we thought we would offer it like this first. Maybe someone wants an almost complete project.

It's probably the seals. Some other users have reported low compression with atkins seals right after the rebuild.
If that's the case it needs another rebuild with genuine mazda parts.
