Compression results.

I have an 04 mt 57k miles, took it in for rough idle, and I had a compression test done. Mazda says it's fine. But I have seen too many stories of what mazda says is "fine". I think the numbers are low. But so are my rpm.(time for an updated starter soon)

R1 199 rpm

6.5
6.8
6.8

R2 201 rpm

6.7
7.1
7.1

thats what I thought, but wasn't 100%. I am pretty sure they said they "had to" let it sit for a few hours before running the test.
