The FSM says normal compression is 8.5 bar and low is 7.5 bar - chapter 01-010

There were I think different compression engines for different markets though - but I think you've got a healthy engine there and the difference is within limits you are "allowed" a maximum of 1.5 bar difference between the cylinders.
