Default K20Z3 Compression Test Tolerances

I wanted to do a compression test this weekend and I'm not sure what the tolerances are for the K20Z3?

What is good and bad.

Thanks for the help.

what do you mean by tolerances? like what should each cylinder be putting out?

180-190...possibly even 200 I would say. I'm just guessing though basing it off of the compression ratio of the motor.

and they should all read all most the same for each cylinder. in other words there shouldn't be any big differences of the numbers between each of them.

why the test? curious?

Yeah just curious. There is nothing wrong with the car or symptoms. Mainly just to feed my curiosity.

Thank you for the info.
