One more variable. The service manual guidance on compression test results is based upon a typical factory assembled engine. Most Volvo B series engines that I have experienced or heard about come with the pistons sitting below the deck at TDC. If, as part of your rebuild process, you decked the block to give zero height or slightly above the deck, then you should expect a slightly higher compression test result.
