EVO 8 Compression

I am looking into buying a used EVO 8 and had an inspection done on it today and the numbers came back at #1-160 #2-160 #3-155 #4-160. Can someone tell me if these are good numbers? The car has 30,000 miles on it. Thanks!

The fact that they are all pretty much the same means a lot more than the #'s themselves. Mine always come in at about 170-175, but the difference could just be in the method or tester.

In other words, sounds good.

The numbers are low, but they're even which is good. The low readings could be from the gauge or testing method though.
