Compression Check results
So, some of you will be familiar with the problems I had with my 8 starting back this summer. I took it down to Bountiful Mazda in Utah and they did the MSP16 recall on it. I also asked them to do a compression check bc of the overall symptoms it had.....and here are the results. They say that this is in spec due to the altitude it was taken at....any thought, ideas, or concerns please let me know. I am right now.
Edit: Sorry if it being 'sideways' I don't know how to get it rotated 90 degrees.

Well, it's above malad summit so it's probably somewhere between 5k-6k in elevation, but not sure exactly what. Kinda explains the 142 hp dyno though Do you think I would be better off to call to another dealership....Bountiful was over 200 miles away, and the one in twin is like 175 miles away, not exactly light driving just to be turned down. My lowest lobe was 83 psi

So...anyone have any input? Should I just premix from here on out and call it good or continue the hunt? Also, can anyone find out for SURE if those numbers are in spec for the altitude? TBH, they look pretty close from lobe to lobe.....which is a good thing I guess.

My super quick math says that you have higher than 110psi at sea level. I could do the math for you but I'm much too lazy.
Also my math could be off. If anyone wants to do the calculation he's 4360 feet above sea level, or 1330 meters. I got the elevation by using google earth and the address of the mazda dealership.
