Compression readings... ?? help with interpretation of results please :)

fair enough.
i have always used 165 as the standard as thats what a new 308 "crate" motor would get, and anything less than 120 means there is a problem - usually just needs valve relap.
totally agree on the cams, they are only good for 150000 km in my opinion - this goes for the v8 chev stuff too..

if its 150 across the board thats a real good motor...even 125 across is still good..
i find with major differences its crap around the valves so i just give them a wrecking yard tune up...hold it at 4k for 5 minutes plus with a few valve bouncing revs in between and if its not blowing smoke by the end of that its a good useable motor...this also usually cleans crap out of the valve seats and will even up the compressions......
