Grady,

What is a good number for both of these tests...and what is the original number?
There are lots of things that affect the measurements: equipment, technique, altitude, temperature and more.

Higher compression numbers are better.
Lower cylinder leak numbers are better.
Close grouping of the measurements is best.

Whatever they are, you have a ‘baseline’ to compare future measurements against.

Best,
Grady
