Anything above 190 on a hot engine should be acceptable. In the 210's would be great.

Cold compression numbers won't tell you that much ..... it'll basically just tell you if it's completely fubar or not.

Different compression testers will give you different numbers on the same engine. The numbers being consistant is the key.
