I am parting out my dads 98 REGAL GS, simply it has gotten too rusty. Thought about using the drive train for my car. What is acceptable range for engine compression? I did the front three cylinder compression test quickly. I received 130-150-130. Is this good enough to use that in not going to have to do something with the engine? Or would it be better to just not use it. Or? Note: engine was cold when I did test

sounds decent for cold, but you are really supposed to do a compression test hot
