what's a good compression to look for on a sr20det motor?

i dont know if this has been asked before, but i searched and found nothing, i've found 120 compression on a s13 front clip, i'm wondering if that's any good? thanks in advance.

With a warm motor all cylinders should be within 155-160. 128 psi is the minimum

Provided that the engine is not cammed, and that you tested the compression correctly... that is a bad number.

If the engine is cammed, and you failed to hold open the throttle when cranking then go and re-test the engine the proper way.

Cams will cause a lower static compression at 300 rpm.

I just did a compression test on my motor and got

1 - 1552 - 1553 - 1554 - 150

I take it I really don't have much to worry about?

Nothing to worry about.

I got about the same numbers on mine but I can smell gas in the oil. Am I screwed or do a leakdown test to see if I am screwed?
