Compression test question

Valves adjusted, still an annoying ticking sound, not that loud, but at idle its there, seems to go away around 2k.....
but, the question oh wizened ones, comp test one cylinder is 140, the others are 150, any real danger in highway driving? Want to finish the year before I tear it down.
thanks

Compression is excellent, nothing to worry about.

Thank you sir.

i would not be alarmed by a 10psi difference.

40psi yes,

Ticking sounds usually turn out to be exhaust leaks.

I'm thinking its got to be exhaust, I ran tonight for an hour, without my helmet, not a fan of that. But it sounded like the front left...for a while, then the front right, or middle.
I'll just get new biscuits and swap them out.

thanks

followup, I switched those half orings to different cylinders and now the ticking has moved to #4...
its not as bad, but its one of those things.
someone suggested just remove. reinstall, retorqueing
