I believe the pass/fail spec for Volvo is somewhere around 145 psi, and you're allowed a maxium of 20 or 25 psi between cylinders (off the top of my head).

However, I typically see values in the 175 to 205 range on a healthy B230F engine in my own car and my friends cars.

God bless,
Fitz Fitzgerald.
