According to my repair manual if your lowest reading is within 75% of the highest your ok.I've allways heard 20# as being the majic number.Did you try squirting a little oil in #8 and see if it comes up.If it does the rings are weak.If not could be a valve not closing.You could then do a leak down test if you wanted to be sure.
