Default Problem with compression!?

I just did a compression check on my b16, I know it should be up around 200psi, im across the board from 130-160, the head gasket is good, but I think the compression rings are just goin. I just wanna know if any of you guys have heard of comression being off this low, but spanned across the cylinders, and does anyone have any idea how much longer I can expect this motor to run.

I dont know what exactly the cylinders on your car should be close to, but every car is going to be different. Chances are if your cylinders read that close to each other, there is a lot of life left as far as compression goes. A leakdown test may clue you in to how worn they are from new

I believe new is 180psi and the servicable limit is around 130psi so it would seem that you are in the right ballpark.
