Message	so, would 130psi be considered "acceptable" for a rebuild engine? My understanding was that lower cylinder pressures were attributed to bad rings (please note, injecting a little oil in the cylinders did not make a difference in the compression results on any of the cylinders in my rebuild engine). Basically I am trying to figure-out if simply fixing the leaking valves may not be enough...
