Default Compression results

So I went out to the truck tonight and did a compression test.

Here are the results:

CYL PSI
1 160
2 150
3 160
4 150
5 160
6 150
7 155
8 150

Now keep in mind that this engine has 165k on her. I think its pretty good but I want your opinions as well.

lol when i did a compression check to my truck 12K miles ago i didnt have one cylinder that was above 95psi...after adding a few drops of oil id get about 130-135....motor still runs strong, but i hate my dodge now and cant wait to get rid of it.

so be thankful, those are good numbers

I purposely have NOT done a compression check, because I EXPECT bad news. I am just looking for a motor to rebuild with tax money..... should be fun.
