New rebuild compression #'s???

I just got my engine running and did a compression test. What is considered to be good compression in a rebuild with no miles on it?

A zero mile rebuild would have really low compression. I dont know the exact numbers.

I am right around 100 for front and rear with all even bounces. Thought that was decent considering FSM says low end is 85.

100 would be great, my 60,000 mile motor has 110 PSI bounces.

85 is what is normal... It does depend on what crank speed you test it at so keep that in mind.
