Default did compression test on my 91 si

well today i was bored so i thought id do a compression test on my d16a6, i have no clue what it was supposed to be but i got 200 on all cylinders i read somewhere that if there all around the same numbers then thats good, so i figure i am good

the only problem i had was getting the black boots off the bottom of the spark plug wire, man were they a bitch, will it be bad if i dint put them back in, becuase i didnt

yes...180 is suppose to be stock spec...but considering age and carbon deposits you have great numbers as long as they are within range...my old crx had 210 in all cylinders...
