as long as they are even, thrash it. If they are all over the place, thrash it harder.
So in summary, I don't know either

Anywhere between 120-170psi and as even as possible.
Less then 10% drop between cylinders.
Stock 4ac compression is 8.9-1 i believe.
And i have stock bigport which is 9.6 or 9.8-1 i can't remember excactly and i have a reading of 180psi across the board.

According to the factory manual:
Compression should read 178 psi. The lower limit before new rings/rebuild is required is 128 psi.
Readings should be within 14 psi between cylinders.
It doesn't specify, but i assume these are dry readings.
Hope that helps :)

I used to get 130 psi and the engine seemed to be reasonable condition if that means anything

on my old 4ac i got 140 psi on 1,2,3. cyclinder 4 was 135psi. the week later the head gasket blew.....
even is the key, higher pressure just means better condition/higher comp.
