I just had my 78 Honda CVCC (77k mi.) tuned and the worksheet returned to
me said that the compression was 170 in all four cylinders.  My question
is how to interpret this (I am obviously no mechanic).  I do know that
you want the compression in all cylinders to be within 5%.  But how about
the magnitude of the number?  Am I right in bein pleased with this result?
And should I be skeptical that all four cylinders are exactly the same?
