was that done cold or warm?

stock spec is 179 with no more variance than 14psi. If done properly, and warm, that's slightly low...getting older, but if cold then that's fine.

i wouldnt worry about those numbers if this is your daily driver and occasional beater. drop a little bit of oil into the the cylinder, let it sit for a min, and then run the compression test again and see if it goes up. if compression goes up then you've got worn rings.
