Continental Engine Query...

Peoples, I need your technical opinions - please.

Am interested in a 1976 T210-L Centurion, which is equipped with a
Continental TSIO-520-H4B engine.

I am told that the compressions are 75 61 65 72 78 & 74.
It has 840 hrs on since factory new engine with 285HP (1997).

I realise that this aircraft has probably 'sat' for long periods - it is currently in a 'dry' inland environment - so airframe corrosion may or may not be a problem, but, what would be the likely causes of such a diverse range of compressions?

And, should I have 'real' concerns over the no. 2 & no. 3 readings?

This is all the info I have right now.

Please?

All answers will be kindly and attentively listened to.

Cheers & Thanks guys and gals...
