Compression or compression ratio? Compression numbers per chamber should hopefully be 100+ psi @ 250 RPM (cranking speed w/ charged battery). Minimum factory spec is about 80 psi, but that is the bottom of the barrel.

The CR on an S4 TII engine is 8.5:1.

90 PSI is fine.

Realistically, does the engine run well? Does it make decent power and not suck down fuel? If yes, then compression is fine.
