I think I know the answer here but I'll ask the
'collective'.. this 85 bus, water cooled) has
compression pressure of 105, 90, 100, 75 PSI. mechanic

doing the test says it was rushed - didn't disconnect
fuel pump and put low pressure down to oil being
washed off of bores - the mechanic says engine runs
good and says in his opinion spec's in book are too
high as he has never seen engien with those figures!

So, it is reasonable to expect engine to have
compression figures above service limit of 116 PSI and
preferably within range of 145-190PSI?
