Nope. Right on the money. You will probably not see anything higher than 215 ever, so 200 across is good. Start seeing 150 and you got problems.

Did you disable the fuel system before you did the compression test? This could cause you to get false reading's, cause the injectors are still dumping fuel into the cylinder.

Re: comment on my compression please (Hyundai4G63T)
low compression will give you lower numbes..
i had 10-1 stock and got 200-220
and
now i have 8.5-1 and get 180psi in all cylinders
low numbers or numbers that vary indicate worn rings....

190 across the board for me.
Somewhat low for a GSR but......Stock bottom end with 65k, 3 15lb bottles of NOS, and the last 20k with a S/C at 8lbs.....

Re: comment on my compression please (dirtySOHC's)
Say you find one lower than the others. I know piston rings is first culprit, but could there be a valve issue instead?

You guys are neglecting to mention the variance between gauges.
My B16A2 showed anywhere from 200 to 225 psi on every cylinder depending on which compression gauge I used (Sears, Matco, Snap On)
