How many miles? Has the timing belt ever been changed?

You noted compression, how was this determined? Were readings taken on each of the cylinders and what were the numbers?

It has about 180,000 miles And I used a compression gauge where I took the spark plugs out and attached it to there and I don't remember the exact amount but I remember that it was a correctly running amount And I ripped apart the side of the engine to see if the belt slipped or was torn. It is not. The engine is in timing. It's all correct and the belt is fine The engine is in timing. It's all correct and the belt is fine
