K20A compression

When I do a compression test on a K20A (Type R) what are the figures that I should look for ???????

example what is the average number across all cylinders and if it fluctuates too low (what is too low)
I wanna determine if the piston rings are good......

test them all. if the numbers are not within 10 psi of eachother, then you have a problem. It is very rare that you will have a motor that all the cylinders have the same compression, but have a blown motor.

Just run the test, and if the compression in all the cylinders is within 10 psi, then the motor is most likely fine.
