Default b16 compression test results

someone want to give me some feedback on my results. i did it at operating temp, step by step and got the following:
Cyl4: 210 Cyl3: 205 Cyl2: 190 Cyl1: 210
I read the c speed racing guide and it states something about being +/- 20psi is a bad thing, but Im sitting right at 20psi difference, could I have a problem there? thanks

looks like you might have a hg leak between 2 and 3 but you would need to do a leak down test to make sure.

It's easy, quick, and cheap to do a headgasket, and while it might not solve your problem, it is good maintainance. A leak down test will definitely confirm the problem.

I replaced the head gasket about 7,000 miles ago. I will do a leak down test though, to see what is going on. would it be ok to continue driving it? thanks
