Does anyone know what the reading should be on a KA24DE compression test, I just want to do a quick test on a car I’m interested in purchasing. Any help would be much appreciated.

Anything over 150 psi and within 10 psi between cylinders is what I heard that you should be okay with.

Can somebody confirm?

Yup, 151 - 179 PSI with a max difference of 14 PSI (at 300 RPM) between the cylinders.
