I'm assuming you are using a compression gauge screwed in the spark plug hole, and you are cranking it over about 10 times.......if so mine read 120bar, but I havent checked them since they were skimmed, to be honest I wouldn't expect it to change much......dont forget you need to remove the exhaust push-rod to get a proper reading as the centrifugal decompression limiter will otherwise limit the pressure to about 60bar, which is a complete bum steer......just take the rocker cover off and pop out the exhaust push-rod before you do the compression test.
