Default compression test

This test look great. The key is to have them at about the same number.
If one is way below the others then you have a problem.
200 across the boards is great.

Compression readings only tell you the condition of the compression rings, you could have bad oil control rings and compression be good.

in addition to the compression test, do a leadown test for a more accurate reading of your engine's condition.
so far, the compression test numbers are excellent. go from there.

A leak down test won't tell you the condition of the oil control rings.

i would also do a leak down test, because with that you can pinpoint where the most wear is...
