Is the engine in or out of the car?
In the car, with oil lines still connected, full of oil I'd want to see 160 PSI or better.
Out of the car, how do you crank the motor and still get oil thru the motor?
I would do a leakdown test if the motor was out. You don't need to crank the motor with a starter to do a leakdown.
I'd look for less than 10%, better less than 6%.
If the motor has been sitting for a long time, I'd spray a little WD-40 into each sparkplug hole before any test.
