did a compression test

I did a compression test and got:
cylinder 1:200
cylinder 2:200
cylinder 3:192
cylinder 4:192
This was with the engine cold. Should I worry about anything?

looks like it could be a healthy B16A?

how do you get such accurate numbers? digital readout gauge or what?

A compression test should be done on a warm engine to get accurate results.

Make sure the ignition is disabled, so the coil doesn't fry.

(you may also have some codes to clear at the end of the test...)

My snap-on tester has hash marks for the one's place. On my leak down tester the second gauge is divided by tens and given percentages, I just replaced the gauge with one that reads 0-100 with hash marks the get the same accuracy there.
