Compression Test Results



Attempting to asses the health of my '88 16v. It has run well for the last few years, but is now close to 130,000 miles.  I was wondering if I should start thinking about an engine rebuild.  I started with compression testing.  Here are the results:
 

cyl1

cyl2

cyl3

cyl4

195

190

200

190

215 with oil

230 with oil

210 with oil

230 with oil

Max difference between cylinders dry: 10psi

Max difference between cylinders with 1/2 tsp oil added prior to test: 20psi

On the first couple of cranks I was getting 80-90 psi and subsequent 5 or 6 cranks sent the needle to the numbers shown above.

So my question is, do the numbers look ok?  I haven't got the factory specs to compare them to.

Also, I'm about to attempt to change my clutch.  does anyone have a good procedure for this?  If there is a written procedure somewhere online, I'd like to get a copy of it.
