It should have around 120-125 pounds of cranking compression out of that engine I believe. I know some only had 90, but those were engines with idle reliefs(the late 80's-early 90's 200/225's), but some others have a140(my old 85 140 has 155 out of it, but it is built up a bit).

Yeah, that much variation in compression is a problem...he needs to find another mechanic who's not trying to "defend" the motor....
