1993 Acura Integra 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual 160.00 miles

sorry my spelling was so bad the other day migrain will do that. I did a compression test and have 60-65 psi per cylinder. Checked my ignition system and I have a nice dluish white spark off the platnum plugs. So im stumped. What would cause the low compression accross the board? I can understand low on 1 or 2 cylinders but all 4 being so low and withen 3 psi of eachother. Head gasket is good so im thinking the timing is a lil off. Any other ideas please? Dylan

Did you do both dry and wet test?

If its the headgasket you can blame it if its low on 2 adjacent cylinders.

Low compression in all cylinders would tell you the rings and cylinders are worn and the engine needs to be overhauled.
