I think that if all cylinders are running equal compression, then you'd be pretty safe. Each car's different. If one cylinder had substantially lower compression than the others then I'd be worried.

Mine tested at 8 Bar (not sure how many psi sorry) on all cylinders, except for one cylinder at 7bar and one at 6. There doesn't seem to be any issues with that. Still has all it's power and doesn't use oil.
It's a 3.9 Multipoint I6 with a broken odometer so I have no idea how far it's driven but it'd have to be over 400,000.
