I can't remember what they are supposed to be mate but usually if they are all the same, which yours are really, then you don't have anything to worry about.

It's probably EXACTLY the same across all of them then, they aren't tremendously accurate AFAIK.

Did you do it while the engine was warm with the throttle fully open? IIRC thats the correct way to do it.
