Engine was cold, about 4-5 strokes each cylinder. Didn't open the throttle. I will mention the bricks engine runs very smooth; I just was curious what a compression test would 'say'.

It was also good to see that the spark plugs looked really good, nice 'color', gap was still fine; had about 18k on the plugs (Bosch SILVER plugs).

Aren't there "specs" in a manual somewhere that might say what the "good" numbers are, other than being consistent?? If the 195 seems "too high" what might be the issue giving/making readings like that?

One thing is that i have been very regular in doing routine maintenance of the engine, ie: oil/filter changes, tune-ups, etc. for the 9 years we have had the brick.
