compression results-now what?
 
had a compression test done and was told by the mechanic that everything was good, but he was not there to explain the numbers to me when I picked up the car; here's the numbers:

kgf/cm2 rotor 1 rotor 2
1 6.6 6.6 8.5 standard
2 6.2 6.9 6.9 minimum
3 6.6 6.8
rpm 213 213

converted to psi is
93.87 93.87 120 standard
88.18 98.14 98.6 minimum
93.87 96.72

now I don't know much about cars but I see that it's just under the minimum compression, or is there something else to this that I should know like I said the mechanic wasn't there to explain the numbers.

One of thw side seal is going, which is common for msp.

But the rest seem fine, not great,

car is driveable im sure, but you might need an engine in a year or so
