Just bought a compression tester, so I'll join the discussion by asking..

What psi/bar-ranges would indicate major trouble? What is normal readings?
I have two 617's (.910 & .912) and a 616.934, they're well worn all three of them. At what point should I know on the gauge glass and mumble "uh oh"?

Valves are adjusted on all of them.
