What if they're all even (all 6) but only 40 psi?LOL!!! No, on a real note....make sure they're even or within the spec's, usually 10-15 psi between the highest and lowest readings..... another good gauge not mentioned yet is removing the exhaust manifolds to look @ how the engine was running! If it's burning oil the exhaust ports will be oily or have evidence of oil in them! If the car was running rich, the exhaust ports will very black and sooty! The lean will be very pale sorta white! A good running engine will have a light brown colored exhaust ports sorta like a chocolate candy color!
