Default How are these compression #s?

I did this tonight about 12...not sure how accurate they are as the last two were cranked longer because the #s kept going up..

Starting with the Cylinder closest to the radiator and moving toward the coils here is what I had:

175
180
195
185

Car was...warm...that seems decent for a 90 with 126k on her...what do you guys thing?

looks alright, but 175 - 195 is a pretty big difference. I would retest and do a wet/dry comparison to see if your rings are sealing properly.
