Bit of a wide spread, but, still mostly 'acceptable'. Most OEM's don't want more than a 10% spread from highest to lowest. You are a bit more than that. Might not hurt do do a wet test as well, or leakdown test, to see where your compression is going. Not sure there actually IS a stock spec for compression.....
