Would someone please help interpret these vacuum test results?

    I have to go back into the engine & figured I would attempt to dot & cross prior to doing so. Part of the plan is to do valve clearance checks. I also appear to have yet another VCG leak, which of course tells me more is going on. & as many know, there has been a high idle issue for quite some time now. In fact it started right after I did a major engine cleaning last June, injectors, gaskets, etc.
    Anyway, I do understand these vacuum test results are difficult to interpret, so I'm looking for input from those in the knw. A bit confusing between whether it's a high fluctuation or in the normal range fluctuation. Weird thing, or maybe not so weird with my driving it when unbeknownst to me maybe I shouldn't have been, is about a month ago, the check was all fine.
