Ideal compression?
Got a compression and leak test done, here were the results:

compression
1: 192
2: 174
3: 193
4:188psi

leak down:
1: 3%
2: 2%
3:5%
4:9%


Are thes numbers good/bad? ok?

No that compression test didnt turn out very well. Compression in cylinder 2 seems to be a little low. The others are fine.

theoretically it's okay. You are allowed to have a maximum difference of 28psi between cylinders, if i remember correctly.

number 2 is low.. but if your going to keep it mildly stock and maintain it, it'll last awhile
