My compression numbers for a b230ft, good/bad? 700

posted by  someone claiming to be volvo head on  Tue Feb 28 10:48 CST 2006 [RELATED]

I recently tested the compression on my b230ft K block with 167,000 miles on it. Motor was hot and I followed all the procedures.
#4 - 110psi
#3 - 100psi
#2 - 95psi
#1 - 90psi

This is below the 128psi spec listed in the faq, but at least all the numbers are fairly close together. I used a harbor freight compression tester and I don't know how good those are. Thoughts?
