your opinion on my compression test PLEASE (track use)

well some of you may know my story. 
i have NA 92 3sge. with 190k. got it three months ago and did new Pads, 15-50 penrite oil. GL4 75-90 gear oil,
plugs and leads, also new rs595 Federal semi slicks took it for a track day and had lots of fun and car did great job.
but i did lose just under a litter of oil. so i was worried about the motor.
i do have oil leak but not sure where from and some oil in my plugs. and could be where my oil went but i want to do  compression test to see if the motor is healthy.
so look at the photos and tell me if that test is saying my motor is healthy so i can go a head and do the Cam cover gasket and the  rest of the gaskets. if not ill just have to save up for a new motor.

    So around 175 is still considered healthy engine.

    Different gauges will read different as too will different temps but if all cylinders are close to each other like yours then should be fine.

    Find out what the original specs should be that's what will really tell you how healthy it is
    If there is much difference it between specified and actual then it means something is worn
    If so there's a few other tests to find out where it's leaking
