The standard for a '95 DE is 179 psi @ 300 rpm. Minimum is 151 psi @ 300 rpm. Max difference between cylinders is 14 psi @ 300 rpm. These are the specs per the factory service manual. Though it boggles my mind how so many 240's test above this in the 190's. You should be good though.

Mine all ran in the 175 range personally, right where they 'should' be.
