I have no idea because I've never checked my compression cold. the book says to check it hot, so that's what I do.

Yea. Don't waste your time with compression checks until after 500 miles, and on a warm engine with the throttle WFO (wide f@%&ing open) during cranking.

If they're both the same you're fine, at this stage in your build.
