Quick question, I have a friend with a Prelude who is getting 25% lower compression on two cylinders. What is the most likely outright cause? Car has like 100K on it, but he has a pretty heavy foot.

Rings are wearing out ---common problem with higher mileage motors.

100k is pretty low to start havin compression issues.

3 things can cause lower compression:

leaky piston rings (usually on car that run very rich or have high kms)
blown or blowing head gasket (from overheating or high stress)
bad valve seals/bent valves (usually from either over reving the engine or from high mileage)

A leakdown test will tell you guys where the leak is.

High mileage! Wasn't that long ago I would buy a car with 100K because it was low mileage

I usually havn't had issues with the rings until around at least 175K on other makes of cars, are Honda's not as durable? What is the story?

Yeah he is doing that test this weekend, just wondering what the likelyhood is of the problem.

is the car running rough and is anything coming out of the tail pipe? I would say it's probably valves or the headgasket unless he did very very irregular oil changes and let the oil stuff go for way too long!

True most for Hondas---but sometimes the odd one is buggered---who knows the motor could have being abused ---such as poor maintenance long periods of none use whch leads to corrosion of internals--etc.

From what I understand it should be running around 200 on each cylinder, his has 190 for two and 166 & 155 for the other two. It has been running fine, but throwing engine codes. Nothing from the tail pipe, no signs of leakage around the head either.

He is renting a compressor this weekend to test it, I guess I will find out when I get back.

Good news, brakes feel really nice now that I have been able to work them in a bit. Car feels like it can come to a stop much quicker, those brakes feel like glue when you stop.
