125 and 130psi after rebuild on 1997 speedster. Help please

[chadsheffield]

just rebuilt and had the cylinders done and matched to the pistons. all new gaskets and everything. broke it in for a half hour maybe an hour and checked compression when back at home. it ran good but compression is from 125 to 130 for all four. why is that? shouldnt they be broken in by now and is something going wrong? cause i understand its supposed to be at 150.

Well since all the cylinders are close, I'd try a different gauge and see what happens...Your gauge may read 125, someone else's maybe 150... Gauges need to be calibrated or very high quality to be accurate. Did you replace the base gasket with the same size? You may want to check the squish..(you can search how to check that with soder or check the manual)
