You should be happy with these numbers and your service life. I would
normally suggest verifying the compression test gauge but why tempt fate, if
it aint broke, etc., it is the cylinder variation that is most important
anyway.

Looks like you got a good one, keep it as long as you can and don't fix
anything that doesn't need opening up.

Good luck.
