your looking for even numbers across teh board.

You don't have even numbers. Does it smoke at all?

as long they are all within 5PSI of each other it is okay... but those have highs and lows with a difference of 30 PSI .... i would say time for a rebuild.

my compression was 184-183-187-185 for a b18c low compression.

yeah it burns about a quart every 4-700 miles depending on how hard i drive it

i can get single cam motors for 300 should i just buy another one, or spend the money in p29 88-89 integra pistons and rings?

Wow, those numbers are way too low. Looks like it's time for a new motor or a rebuild.
