just do the test and see what you get, if #'s are even across the board your good.
Asking for the compression #'s is really not a lot since you have variables like tester, temp., altitude.

i would think it would be a little higher than 180psi. like muller said, as long as the numbers are within 10-15 psi of eachother then you should be ok.

i would guess more like 200-210, but if your numbers dont turn out that high but are still similar, then i wouldnt worry about it. its still gonna have power.

as long as it doesn't go below 135 PSI you'll be fine. anything below that factory specs requires as rebuild.
