Default Is 120 across the board for a d15 ok?

Hey guys we averaged 120 across the board on a compression test. Is this ok or a little low. Im thinking its a little low but atleast the readings are even. Whats your guys opinions on this?

I wouldn't say for sure. If it smokes white like crazy (big *** clouds) then it probably is headgasket, if its just normal looking like every other car out there, its probably just condensation.

Check your coolant to see if its brown or not.

What's the compression on sohcs? Like 9:1? IMO 120 across seems fine.

check your oil to see if it's like chocolate milk. most of the time on honda's when they blow the gasket, the coolant mixes with the oil and vice versa.

if not, it could be rings...

Exactly!
If you don't do it with the throttle open, your numbers can be considerably lower.
