I just installed new piston rings and lightly honed the cylinders. I spun the crank about 20 times using the electric starter with the engine on the workbench without the carbs.  Compression ratio ranged from 90 to 110 psi.  Valves have not been adjusted and the temperature was about 50F.   Is the compression expected before the rings break in?
