Compression test done - Results are in..

So I've had a couple of overheating events over the summer, and I think I fixed the issue, but she has still been running hot. So before dumping more money into the issue, I wanted to get a definitive on if the engine was still strong. This is what it came back with:

Front Rotor:
1: 9.5
2: 9.1
3: 9.2

Rotor:

1: 9.4
2: 9.5
3: 9.1

I passed with flying colors! In fact, the dealer said that my engine is almost abnormally strong, and they haven't seen numbers that high in a while!

What a terrific feeling to know that my baby is healthy - now I just have to figure out why she is running so hot!

Just wanted to share my good news with everyone

Woot woot! :D
I hope not to burst your bubble, but can you list at what RPM they were taken at?
I am curious. ^_^
