I did a compression test during my first phase of working on the car, when I needed to know whether I needed a rebuild or not. The numbers came out WAY higher than 80, around 130 IIRC. I've just bought a compression tester of my own (last time a friend came over with his) so I can test it periodically. I've driven about 2000 km since the last test.
