Are you talking about a compression test, or?

Well its almost impossible to have low compression on all cylinders and if 1 is down is gonna be pretty obvious.

All cylinders should be within 10-15 pounds of each other if not you have a problem.

Did you do the test dry or wet?

That's way off. If you do the compression test correctly, comp readings should be around 165-175. To do the test right, pull all plugs out, unplug the injectors so they don't squirt fuel when you're cranking, and crank it until you head 5 'bumps' in the engine rotation. You have to push the 'Start' button to stop the engine too.
