Can anyone tell me the compression numbers I should be seeing on the M103 engine in my 90 300E ? 3.0L SOHC

Really ? I'm seeing between 185 and 195 on all cylinders except the one I believe I have a valve issue on (#3 = 10psi) and one other (#5=145) which seems to run fine (plug shows good color) but obviously is also a little under the weather.
