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.

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.
