Not sure...I just had mine tested but it was in a different measurment. Also unless I am wrong there should be 6 numbers total, 3 for each rotor face and 2 rotors=6. But maybe thats just for the test I had.
But yes those numbers are good...anything in the 9's is good for psi.

The difference is that he probably used a traditional compression tester. Instead of the digital tester from mazda. It gives readings for each of the three compression chambers per rotor. Hence the 6 readings. 3 for the front, 3 for the rear. ........ As long as the gauge went up in steady pumps, You should be alright. I diagnosed a bad Apex seal with the traditional tester. It had 1 good pump and then some weaker ones. (This was the apex seal crack.) Those readings are OK if they went up evenly. Good luck!! P.S. Are you looking for a problem(diagnosing a problem)?
