I would leave it alone. I have to say, that's awfully good compression for that kind of mileage, assuming stock compression ratio. Are you sure it hasn't been overhauled some where along the way? Also, if the engine wasn't warmed up to operating temp before the tests, do so before performing another test. Cold compression tests can be very misleading.
