in the 200 lb range. More important is that the compression is even (within %10) across all 4 cylinders. Leakdown less then %10 would be OK, %5-%7 is fine, if it is even on all cylinders. Go to a shop that realy knows what it is doing. These tests can easly be botched, giving useless results that make a good engine look dead. BTW, 120,000 miles is fine for the timing chain/tentioner. Think in the 150,000 range for these components.
