I was reading your post to the DML, and something that you wrote peaked my curiousity. Specificly about the PSI readings. Last year I took my motor in for tuning (after it wouldn't pass smog), and had a pressure test run on the car. The results were positive, but all came back between 162 & 167 PSI across all cylinders. Is this a sign that this may be one of those aftermarket, higher-compression PRV motors that KAPAC was selling? And if so, are there any casting #'s on the side that I can check to verify?
