Barbara,

If the engine has just been reconditioned I would expect very good 
compression in all cylinders.  If the engine is in fair/good condition I 
would expect good/fair compression in each cylinder.  If the rings in a 
cylinder are shot, I would expect crap compression in that cylinder.  If a 
piston has a hole in it, you will have no compression in that cylinder.

Hope this helps,
Andy.

P.S. Sorry.  I couldn't help myself.
