Engine Compression

I have a 1995 Saturn and I'm wanting to check compression. Can anyone tell me what the range of good to weak compression would be for each of the 4 cylinders?

Re: Engine Compression

minium 180 PSI after 10 compression strokes. high numbers(above approx 250 psi) may be a sign of carbon deposits. maximum 10% difference between strongest and weakest cylinder.
