From memory 160 psi is good, 135 is passable, anything less indicates leakage.
Two low cylinders adjacent point to a leak at the small strip of interveaning gasket. You know the trick of squirting oil into the cylinders and measuring again? No change indicates valves, improvement indicates worn bores or rings.
Someone with access to the book will put me right.
