Engine compression rating = cilinder lb compression
9.5 atmospheres to 1.
1 atmosphere = ~14 psi.
9.5 X 14 = 133 psi.
Having said that, all cylinders should be within 10 psi of each other.
If the highest pressure is 120 psi all other cylinders should be no less than ~110 psi.
If all are within range, compression is usually AOK.
