Default b16 compression test

i just did a compression test on my b16a2 for the hell of it, 85,000 miles runs perfect and has never burned a drop of oil. i have a catch can on the pcv valve and i get like a teaspoon in a month.
#1=210
#2=210
#3=210
#4=180
i know these numbers are all ok. i'm wondering about the difference between #4 and the rest of them. i put some oil in the cylinder and it stayed the same, so i'm assuming it's in the head. so any opinions on what it might be and if i should even worry about it? i'm saving for a k series, but that isn't going to happen for a couple years.

Black...

Give it a week or two and check it again.I've seen readings go up and down sometimes.If it's still the same I still wouldn't worry about it.
