Default Compression Test

Just purchased a EG with a b18c1 in it. Just did the compression test and came out approximately 210-210-210-210 +/- 2psi. From what i read thats pretty good but then again its a 95 motor. So do you guys think compression is usually that high for a motor that old? I mean im glad about the compression test just wondering if a motor that old is suppose to put out numbers like that. TIA

the numbers themselves dotn matter really, its the consistency that they have, how high the nmber is depends on the number of cranks and so forth

I heard having the cylinders being +/- 15 psi of each other is good right?

Mine was only +/- 2psi per cylinder

Those numbers are golden. That looks like a perfect motor, probably was hardly driven.

+/- 15psi is a little to off in my book. +/- 10 is average, anything more then theres something wrong.
