Default Cylinder Compression

I ran a search and could not find what the cylinder compression should be for stock internals. I think I may have screwed my rings and need to do a compression check, thanks for any info.

I BELIEVE it should be around 180 PSI. A little lower than that wouldn't be a problem either. You run into problems when you get as low as 140 and lower.

I recall a couple of threads about static compression pressure should be around 200, but you should be more concerned with all the values being within a couple percentage points of each other. ie. one or more cylinders being too low relative to the others.
